August 21, 1942 –
Walt Disney decided too many children were sleeping too well and released the animated classic Bambi on this date.
No matter how skilled the animator, the Disney cartoonists simply could not draw Bambi’s father’s antlers accurately. This was because of the very complicated perspectives required. To get around the problem, a plaster cast was made of some real antlers which was then filmed at all angles. This footage was then rotoscoped onto animation cels.
