Boog: This ain't happening. It's some kind of mistake. Think, Boog. She's mad, but you can fix this. All right, I'll go back and I'll give her the face. The face. Gotta get back before she forgets the face. That'll clear it all up right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the face.

Elliot: Boog! You can't just go wandering around out here. You don't know where you're going, Boog!

Boog: Thank you, but no thank you. Quiet. Timberline's gotta be around here somewhere.

Elliot: Well, that was quick. Now, let's see. Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. Boog, is that you? Boog.

動畫片制作全過程 The Manufacturing Process

Creating an animated short or full-length feature is a long, tedious process. Extremely labor-intensive, the average short cartoon has approximately 45,000 separate frames. To make a character say "Hello, Simon," can require 12 drawings to depict each movement of the character's lips.

The story is written

Sometimes the animator is also the writer. The animator makes a storyboard, a series of one-panel sketches pinned on a board. Dialogue and/or action summaries are written under each sketch. The sketches may be rearranged several times as a result of discussions between the writer, the animator, and the director.

The dialogue, music, and sound effects are recorded

Actors record the voices of each character. Background music and sound effects, such as doors slamming, footsteps, and weather sounds, are recorded. These recordings are generally preserved on magnetic tape. The music is timed for beats and accents; this information is recorded on a bar sheet so that the animation can be fitted around the music. Because Walt Disney was one of the first animators to fit the action to the music, this process is called "Mickey Mousing." Many professional studios now use an optical sound track on which voices, music, and sound effects are represented by varying lines. An electronic sound reader and synchronizer gives an accurate count of the number of frames required for each sound.
