I went to Disney and asked Mickey that question. He says it makes him look stylish.
Lol
Im surprised you could hear "Mickey" through all that material
Well he is the mascot of Disney? I would ask him.
@@optimisticwhovian1726 Actually, none of the costumed characters at Disney are allowed to "talk", they simply learn how to act in the costume and pantomime with an uncostumed Disney cast member helping interpret. This isn't a thing for human characters like, say, Mary Poppins or Aladdin.

I always thought "that thing" on Daffy's neck was just his coloring, as ducks can have some rather interesting color markings and I have never seen an all-black duck anyway. Also, I had assumed birds didn't wear gloves because they were technically "wings", not "arms", their feathers being their "fingers" kind of a visual representation. I know they're shaped and structured his actual hands, I just thought that might be the concept behind it, the difference being they were wings, while those with more actual "arms" or "front legs made into arms" would warrant gloves while wings might not.
Just a theory, though.
You're correct about Daffy's neck. I think that might have been the punchline of that scene.
@@dinohall2595 Nah, he's a priest.
It's probably because Daffy's design is based of a Malard which is a species of duck that has a ring around their neck.
My original thought after reading the title was, "Because drawing hands is seriously difficult."
Yeet
Being able to properly draw hands with good proportions and joint movements is actually extremely hard.
+HammerMC
I think you're right. I think it's also difficult to draw wrists that look right, because if the join between the arm and the hand does not look right, then people will notice. Putting gloves on the character gives the animator some leeway: if it doesn't look perfect, we interpret it as simply being the shape of the glove.
tradition1 That's part of why those loose shapes were introduced in the first place. It's like how the narrator in the video described the idea behind the more noodle esque figures in characters.
Yes, that was my first thought
Now you see why four fingers came into vogue!
Okay, but what we really needa be asking is does Mike Wazowski blink or wink?
ung loco I think he blinks. He can't wink.
I guess to wink he'd need to have an eye twitch.
ung loco To wink he just closes half of his eyelid
ung loco blinking is closing 100% of your eyes and winking is closing 50% of your eyes so mile wasowski blinks
GivenName Surname then what is it when a monster with four eyes only closes one?
“Why do you wear that thing around your neck?”
ROASTED
Maybe his neck gets cold because he lost feathers on his neck.
@Drew Taylor what’s the backstory
@Drew Taylor oh wow that's cool, and sad at the same time
@Drew Taylor Whoa, I remember the 2012 Loony Toons Show being pretty good, but I didn’t realize just how heartfelt the stories could be. I should probably rewatch it sometime, it’s super underrated.
Disney: We gave them gloves to make animating their hands easier
VeggieTales: What if they just didn't have hands

Maybe it's upside down 😂😂

RIGHT! Lol
Wow, I wasn't prepared to see Bugs without his gloves on.

lol
ikr
I also wasn't prepared for goofy as well.
I never noticed the gloves on bugs bunny. I may be part of some kind of minority.
I saw the episode
This was great. Now do one about why old cartoon characters had shiny eyelids.
Pre internet trends
@@ascorbicpng light reflecting off eyelids?
people still do it currently lol
To give them pop. Just aesthetically pleasing. At least that’s one of the reasons
Because eyeshadow at the time was applied with grease and cartoons are done up like actors. It wouldn't have seemed odd to audiences at the time.
Vox: *Shows nearly every iconic character with gloves*
Sonic The Hedgehog: *am I nothing to you?*
It's cartoon characters and more toward Disney...but I think Nintendo just hopped on the trend
@@steelpump100 Actually, it's been shown that the first Japanese manga and anime of the past were originally inspired by American cartoons, so Disney basically helped inspire manga, which in turn influenced game companies.
@@steelpump100 Did... _did you just call Sonic a Nintendo character?_ o_0
And for the record, Sonic's classic design (before they remodeled him for 3D games around 1998 or so) is *clearly rubber hose inspired* (like 1:20).
...Unless you were referring to the fact that *Mario* wears gloves too...
@@ChaosRayZero Mario is way more popular than sonic, so yes. I never mentioned sonic at all, i was simply talking about how Nintendo hopped on the trend of gloves when Disney did it. Never mentioned sonic
@@steelpump100 Sorry for the confusion, I was operating on the logic that your comment was a direct response to the one you replied to.
*The original comment mentioned Sonic* wearing gloves, and then you said "Nintendo just hopped on the trend," and it sounded like that was supposed to be an explanation. I misunderstood. My bad! 😅
“Five fingers looked like too much on such a little figure, so we took one away. That was just one less finger to animate”
That book just answered my 2nd burning question
Nintendo: why not remove them all
I ruined the 555 likes 😈😈
Fun fact: The Blue Meanies from the animated Beatles movie “Yellow Submarine” are deliberately drawn with SIX fingers on each hand as sort of a jab at this convention. Instead of taking away one finger, let’s add TWO more!
And here, we were lied by parents when we were little that we can't draw full fingers on drawing, or they will come to life. 'That's why cartoon got 4 fingers' 😭
@Xavier Phillips Why?
I always thought that the cartoon birds didn't wear gloves because the fingers are technically their feathers taking shape of hands and fingers... as opposed to having paws.
gixG17 your from 2018 right do you notice the ia ketle like' cuphead grandfather
I thought bc it would block them from flying😂
That's right, it's because birds don't have hands
But Donald doesnt wear gloves
@Nothing in Particular what? No. Maybe in the older ones but Not in the new ones
Cartoon characters only wear gloves in American cartoons, so the "hands are hard to draw" argument doesn't work.
The "minstrel" argument is much more likely. It was easy to blacken the face, as it doesn't come into contact with objects on stage. Any black paint on the hands, however, will immediately come off. So actors had to wear gloves instead.
Sounds plausible.
as an animator, it would make sense to draw gloves. Saves so much time.
@@benstern310 it's deffo the minstrel one, animation in america started off depicting black people
@@daftbanna7202 well as an animator from the UK was more for time saving and to stop the hands blending into the body. Sonic has this as well.
the conclusion that "since it only happened in america the argument doesn't work" doesn't follow. It's like saying "spoons can't exist to make eating small food like rice easier, given asians use chopsticks, so there must be another reason", no, there really mustn't.
While there exists plausibility to minstrel shows giving inspiration, the fact that it ** easier and clearer to draw gloves for characters without clear edge lines is far more likely to be what standardized the practice beyond "I want to keep making caricatures of black people".
Why they wear gloves
2019: cuz they’re hard to draw
2020: cuz it’s corona time
Im ur 90 like
Put gloves is basically drawing a white hand...it doesn't make it easier...it's more of a style and so you can see the hands when the hand is in front of their black bodies.
"why dont the birds wear any gloves"

Daffy Duck been wearing chokers before chokers were even a thing
I always thought they were meant to represent the natural markings of a male mallard, although he's not quite a mallard either... They may have been a bit unspecific about exact duck specie, but I still think its based on the mallards markings
trend setter
a true icon
I'm pretty sure chokers were a thing before goth kids started wearing them, if that's what you're suggesting. They've just gone in and out of style over the years.
Chokers were used to tell prostitutes from common women in the 18th century
Love how some of the characters sometimes address it themselves. Breaking the 4th wall full on haha
Before I even knew what breaking the fourth wall was, I knew Bobby was totally breaking it cause he showed us he was indeed aware of his own glove-user nature
I think the main reason for using gloves, in cartoons and in vaudeville, was because it made it easier for the audience to see where their hands were and what their hands were doing.
i also assumed it had to do with because a person dressed in black face is impersonating a black person and therefore would have black hands, so a white person would have to cover up their white hands. just a theory though, i didn't look it up.
I think that's a big reason along with making the hands 'generic' across all creatures. That is, they can do things like human hands without looking too much like human hands.
stevo728822 Your conclusion sounds so much more reasonable.
What an odd comment, lol.
They said that RIGHT IN THE VIDEO that just so happened to be to tell you why they wore gloves. So either you didn't watch the video or you just want to seem like a know it all.
Daffy Duck "wears that thing around his neck" because he's really a Catholic priest.
SnoopyDoo I'm that episode it's shown that it's a gift from his grandmother, it was a pearl choker
daffy feelin chilly from all that ice around his neck

I mean alot of pedophiles do things associated with Disney (like having a Mickey mouse tatt)
Nooooo Mickey is the king don’t be afraid 😭😞
Every character who wasn't a white human, used gloves.
I always thought that Daffy Duck's white thing around his neck was inspired by how mallards have a white stripe around their neck
Mario and Sonic wears Gloves
mario's a plumber, probably doesn't wanna get shitwater all over his bare hands

Popeye: *kyukyukyukyuk*
Gloves serve two primary purposes. They allow characters with black bodies to have their hands visible when their hands are in front of them, and they draw emphasis to the the expressions of the hands. The emphasis on expression is the same reason why mimes paint their faces white. Simple as that.

How did they make Mickey racist if that is a part of its history?
The linked early animation back to blackface, which is still an active area of controversy today.
Is this parody? I've genuinely lost the ability to tell anymore...
:(
(If it wasn't, I don't think it was an attempt to besmirch Mickey as a racist as to highlight one of the possible causes of gloves as the blackface performers in vaudeville, since both comics and cartoons can trace their roots back to vaudeville, though of course it extends further back than that.
I can understand why someone would think that way, but given that they didn't actually use any words like good or bad or racism or bigotry, I think they were just trying to include all possible explanations for the gloves. I hope this doesn't tear us apart fam lol. It's really great seeing you in the comments sections in unexpected places every so often. Please don't hate me...)

Early cartoon characters are, in fact, racist minstrels. Mind. Blown.
I had no idea
They're not. You're just watching a Vox video so everything is racism. lol
I have a degree in animation, I literally sat through history of animation for entire semesters. 10 years ago, this concept would have been nonsense. But it's just popular to inject racism into everything these days.
@@SeraphsWitness Thanks for this. Does it have something to do with contrast and how colours appear on-screen?
4:04
I'll never get used to these animal years...in 1935, Clarabelle Cow gets her glove stuck in a flute...Goofy, in 1939, is 60 years later?!?
Why do Mickey's ears always face the viewer?
CraveQube beacuse it's not a 3d animation.
CraveQube Walt I believe wanted his ears visable at all times
CraveQube To make him more recognizable. When you look at a comic you can in an instant see which character your looking at and so is the case with Mickey Mouse as well.
it was more complecated to animate
Because Disney is always listening to us.
Let's be real people, Daffy Duck brought back the choker.

An Extremely Goofy Movie is a family favorite over here!! I was JUST reminiscing about the movie to a friend after hearing "Right Back From Where We Started From" (It's used during one of the best dancing montages ever!) playing at the supermarket. It really took me back to some VERY happy days 🥰🥰🥰
how about why they only have 4 fingers instead of 5.??
I think the book about Walt Disney's autobiography or whatever was gonna say something about the number of fingers if you're interested. It's probably to make them human-like, but not actually human.
i could wrong but to save money? Time?
tchevrier that is also because of racism
3 fingers and a thumb
Since white people that aren't jews only have 4 fingers.
Theory:
The birds don't wear gloves because they don't have "amrs" per se. They have wings. Giving Daffy gloves would make him look like a weird quadruped with a beak.
So a platypus
Why does he have that thing around his neck?
@@TheInkPitOx that's just a ring of white feathers. Lots ducks have it
Woody woodpecker wears gloves
Donald is a duck and duck is a bird
this is one of the most well-resourced things i've ever seen in my life. and it was aout frickin cartoons.
Theory: After the Spanish Flu, people became more germophobic and it became normal for people to wear gloves.
Goofy without gloves was weird as hell o.o

Birds don’t wear gloves cause their arms are actually wings and their fingers are actually feathers, it would be hard to fly with gloves on your wings

yes
C. ...In case dey moiduh somebuddy.
If it's 1930, then B is correct.
If it's 1999, then C is correct.
Why Goofy is a human dog and Pluto just a regular dog?
Also, Goofy and Pluto arent the same because it's a cartoon and someone wanted it that way.

Do you ever get recommended CZcams videos that you watched 1 - 3 years ago and remember them faintly but watch them again as a refresher? Is happens to me all the time!
Theory: underneath the gloves are humanly realistic hands
2 fingers are just sharing one finger in the glove...reason for lack of one finger.
Vox: Yeah... but how do we link this topic to racism?
Хлоя Марш You're kidding yourself if you think that's some kind of random stretch that Vox just invented. It's very obvious watching all of the early animations that didn't blow up to become Mickey Mouse or Felix the Cat
Хлоя Марш
it's common history that's known as fact
the real question here is what cartoons gloves have to do with Muslim oppression.
Хлоя Марш i would argue that they weren't trying to link it to racism, it just was. America was built on the graves of the colonised by slaves after all. Not all of us have the luxury of pretending institutional racism doesn't exist x

The minstrel shows and mimes of the time used them to draw attention to what needs to be highlighted. Their hands help tell the story and draw the eye where to look.
2:53 oh so that’s where elder kettle came from
Now explain the four fingers
It's at 2:38 below the highlighted text.
Oh, thanks observant human
MrFlippy Music That answered another age-old question.
The four fingers instead of five fingers on cartoon hands originated from 1920s and 1930s animators not having to take too much time drawing the hands. Drawing hands required as much attention and detail as drawing faces. So, drawing four fingers saved a little time in doing an animated character.
Technically it's 3 fingers and a thumb and it was just easier to articulate the hands in motion with only 3 fingers. (without losing the human appearance or making them seem too human) Genius...
Cause the bird hands are wings!!!
xala r so are Donald Duck's
he got his feathers clipped
Also Daffy
Exactly. A bird wearing gloves would seem strange because real birds don't have fingers (neither do cows for that matter, but Disney seems to have dropped the anthropomorphic cow idea). Donald duck has white feathers; he doesn't wear gloves either.
Donald Duck doesn't wear gloves.
I struggled for 6 days with depicting a hand in Illustrator. The client had an low-res gif of the logo and needed a clean eps. The colors and body were easy enough to get perfect, but the HAND. I really had to do research into that to get it right and make it look natural.
4:34 Sequel to this video: Why does Daffy Duck wear that thing around his neck?
I just scrolled down the comment section for nearly 30 damn minutes looking for someone else that caught this... does nobody else notice that when she's talking about The Band Concert she says "it's from 1935" then she says "60 years later, Goofy takes off his gloves before getting in a pool..." and the year the film that goofy was taking off his gloves in was only from was 1939?
gabriel martinez I saw that yup.
Perhaps she meant "6 years later" and made a typo? Just sayin. (and yes, I know, 6 years after 1935 is 1941.)
Maybe it should have been 60 MONTHS?
Yeah, it's wrecking my head!
Maybe the film's year was written wrong...? But probably not cause it doesn't really look like 90s Disney animation but just a guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These techniques also included using round edges instead of angles because they were more efficient to draw repeatedly. Unfortunately, rounded hands were difficult for audiences to see against their bodies in black-and-white film-especially when the characters were using them. That's where white gloves came in.
Finally a video that isn't about Trump or the political US
Wrong, it talks about how Mickey Mouse is racist.
Matt Smith It most definitely doesn't.
don't worry. The comment section will fix that dilemma.
just about the false race narrative.
I wish it were false lol
Many animated birds don't use gloves because, well... they are birds, those are not even paws, those are wings and feathers being used as hands. And that thing around Daffy Duck's neck are white feathers present in the males of some species of mallards (wild ducks, those that are hunted on season).
It also, like Fred Flintstone's tie, provides a cut-off point so that different head-angles can be placed without worrying about matching.
tom dL I remember Daffy actually taking the white band off one time so... it's a joke
no its because he wants to because hes loony, just let our childhoods be.... who hurt you.

When I draw people, I always have their hands behind their backs because I always fail at doing hands... 😂
Lol same
Make boxes (or cylinders) for fingers, then connect the edges.
You gotta face those challenges head on, draw a bunch of hands, be sure to draw the wrist and even a bit of the arm as well, to be sure you know how to connect them to the body, look at reference, you dont have to copy it, its more like a ruler, you can use it to make things accurate, or you can use it to check your accuracy and fix things, so grab a bunch of ref from all angles and positions and study up.
You may feel like your bad but its nice knowing you can, and you can, drawing is just putting the right lines in the right place, you just have to know what lines in what places, the rest is up to muscle memory.
Sammeeee

I figured that it meant you could easily animate the gloves on a separate cell layer without having to redraw the arms and reducing the precision necessary for them to match up.
I'm addicted to this channel!
To those of you complaining that they mentioned racism...have you ever seen song of the south?
THANK YOU. Bout time someone mentioned Uncle Remus.
Pladimir Vutin that doesn't change the fact that it is racist
Pladimir Vutin Yes, but Uncle Remus was a slave. Disney portrayed him as a happy old slave who gladly told stories to all the boys and girls of all colors. Back then in a time where slavery had just ended and rights were being earned, that kind of imagery using characters from slave/african stories was offensive. Slaves were not happy. Uncle Remus was a slap to the face to the newly freed.
Oh, and have you heard Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, and Brer Fox talk? That it a WHOLE 'nother ball game right them. They even made a book with the stories, and the words were written in the same "accent" slaves used back in the day. Needless to say, it was near impossible to read without stopping ever two seconds. There were also racist moments occasionally, but I think those came from the original stories?
EITHER WAY, making that film in that time was the worst thing Disney could have ever done, and that movie has been in the vault ever since. It is something Disney wishes to bury. It was racist. There's no way around it.
Saturn Star thank you
Oh jeez. There is, quite actually, a Mickey Mouse cartoon where the lights go out and all that's visible is Mickey's hands and face so he immediately starts doing an Al Jolson impersonation (as ya do). There's absolutely a minstrel show tie in. Perhaps the gloves persisted because they make hands easier to see, and nobody's saying that people who watch cartoons where the characters are wearing gloves are racist for doing so... is it really going to kill anyone to simply acknowledge the FACT that a racist tradition was very influential in early cartoons?
I always thought the gloves were their hands smh
