We grew up watching hand-drawn Disney, and now it's gone. We don't talk about this enough.

Most people have no idea what level of work went into these films...

To draw one cathedral, Disney's artists went and spent days inside the real one, climbing through the passageways and towers of Notre-Dame with a historian, so that a cartoon would get the stones right.

That was for The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1996. The team made more than one trip to Paris, and the film was the first made at Disney's new animation studio in the city, a collaboration between American artists and Parisian ones led by the brothers Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi.

This is the thread that runs through Disney's Paris: the city keeps pulling the studio back. The Aristocats, in 1970, is a valentine to an older Paris of grand apartments and rooftop cats, though the animators packed the skyline so tightly that Notre-Dame ends up standing almost next to the Eiffel Tower.

It will never cease to amaze me: every single frame of the old Disney movies was put down by a human hand. Today everything chases realism, and somehow, the more real it looks, the less alive it feels…

@Michelle4Laughs Hi Michelle!

Thank you for your time (and patience) in running the Sun vs. Snow contest.

I sent my submission at 4:00, but haven't received a confirmation for my title, Charlie Malone and the curse of the Pharaohs Beard. Would you please verified that it went through? Colette

Don't keep your mss. in a drawer. Nobody reads them there. Today a journal turned down 7 of my poems, I sent them back 5 new ones. If I can do that--so can you. There's no crying in the writing game except tears of joy. Put your handkerchiefs away and your mss. in the email/mail.
