One principle that traditional animators have to master is solid drawing where animators have to draw forms instead of flat shape, and the ability to draw the forms in any angle really helps to give this illusory depth and form. Such a shame that as we progress with the advent if technology, 2d animations have become less about art and more about making money in short time. Solid drawing and many other principles of animation are left out. But fortunately, the eastern sakuga animations have opened the eyes of westerners to appreciate the beauty of frame by frame animations again.
It’s weird and interesting seeing Russel Crowe as Sinbad. I know he was originally going to play Sinbad but now that I’ve seen this I’m getting a pirate vibe and with Brad Pitt a swash buckling vibe.
1. great animation per usual, i mean c'mon its james baxter, no one can beat him 2. i love their beta designs before the final product 3. this is an underrated gem of a movie and 4. its smooth has crap and its awesome
@@xxzzz7467 Like it makes no sense. James baxter has a realistic animation style, there are plenty of other animators whose style isn't as fluid but the animation is JUST as valid. I'd feel really weird if I somehow got good at animation, and someone said "woah! You're even better than aimkid!" I hate it when "compliments" put down other people
@@Xenderman yeah, I don't think they had bad Intentions but essentially they don't matter, the influence does. Art is unique and personal to each artist and there is no "ideal" in art. Some artists prefer their drawings to be realistic but I like drawing them cartoony and the features to be more exaggerated than they are in real life. None of the art is "bad" and still, people manage to put artists down solely because they have a different or maybe even an unusual style. It's rude and it makes the artist, who spend time and effort on their work, feel unworthy. You can have your own personal preference and that's fine but there is no "general ranking" or "good or bad" in art. Each work is special and worthy enough on its own
Yeah sadly this type of smooth animation is no longer thing, but it still has potential to come back, mainly Klaus with the animation being 2D while looking 3D. I hope this type of animation comes back and maybe improve upon it just how Klaus did.
Really, this and a good story is all I need to enjoy a cartoon. I don't care about every single hair on meridian's head or every thread in Elsa's robe. Just give me quality animation, emotions, good dubbing and most importantly a story.
@@akiani theres one other animator on CZcams who did brother bear, he's really talented for making animals talk but with realistic mouth movements of an real animal
He makes everything look 3D
Because the background is in 3d, this help a lot
@@sucrilhossuquito6102 actually, yes and no lol it's because of the skills

@@zizzors9314 do you know about Cartoon Saloon? They’re a western studio that does frame by frame movies
@@_kaleido yeah they did Wolfwalkers 😃
dudeee how did he make this so smooth?!?!!
disney magic, that’s how!
@@shinkenger2011 The art is done by James Baxter. And this movie is from Dreamworks, not Disney.
James Baxter is the literal god of animation
@@BlueTheCartoonAddict I agree!!!
@@shinkenger2011 DreamWorks *
James Baxter is an amazing animator
Baxter is a freaking legend.

That was Russell Crowe? I thought it was Mel Gibson.
0:11 that hand animation is so damn smooth
1. great animation per usual, i mean c'mon its james baxter, no one can beat him
2. i love their beta designs before the final product
3. this is an underrated gem of a movie
and 4. its smooth has crap and its awesome
Now this is talent.
I don't want it to be lost to 3D animation.
It looks so much better
i would kill for james baxter to start like a skillshare course or something
*Y E S*
the only sinbad i know is tyrone from backyardigans, but this one is badass and is animated badass-edly too
Whenever i see James baxter's name i think of the horse and ball.
@@AnOrrangeShirt yea i know. Thats why i said that.
This is very fluid, better than most stuff I have seen
I know that this is supposed to be a compliment but please do not put down other animators to put one on a pedestal
@@Xenderman agreed

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR SKILLS JAMES BAXTER, I wanna learn everything I can about 2D animation
very nice skills. interesting design for marina. such an underrated movie. truly a gem.
Here before this blows up
yez
Hand drawn animations is a lost art at this point
Yeah sadly this type of smooth animation is no longer thing, but it still has potential to come back, mainly Klaus with the animation being 2D while looking 3D. I hope this type of animation comes back and maybe improve upon it just how Klaus did.
Yeah unfortunately. I wish more studios brought it back
@@blazingstorm9351 i know cartoon saloon always make movies in 2D animation
Wait, there's still hand drawn animation today and still is alive lol
@@blazingstorm9351 James Baxter was one of the key animators in Klaus
I miss this type of animation. I hope someday it can come back.
I've replayed this video so many times
I’ll strive until I’m one day up to this man’s level of skill
I love the accents!!! Man, we really missed out!!!!! 😂🤣
Imagina ter todo esse talento
trabalho duro e habilidade! (também talento)
Além de talento, muitos anos estudando, treinando e trabalhando.
more animation like this, please. Soo Smooth, so flowy. We need to keep this kind of animation alive.
I love the spring in the 3rd characters stepp
Jaaaaaaameeeessss Baaaaxxxxteeeeerrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pencil test? Then I wonder what a paper exam looks like
Oooohhh, so this is the guy/horse from Adventure Time????
After all those years
I finally get it.
Even in 240p it's still so amazing
Disney, Warner Brothers, and DreamWorks need to bring back hand drawn.
Really, this and a good story is all I need to enjoy a cartoon. I don't care about every single hair on meridian's head or every thread in Elsa's robe. Just give me quality animation, emotions, good dubbing and most importantly a story.
It's unreal how amazing this looks
3D animators can eat his dust for centuries
Honestly, I thought I was going to see a horse balancing on a ball with this style
Everything looks 3dimentional, Pure fkn talent right here
I can't read his name without hearing the horse
0:06 If she should be Marina, i loved her style most of the oficial Marina of the movie
What happened to these animators i miss them 😭😭😭😭
they still exist around social media, just really rare nowadays. james baxter has a yt
@@akiani 🥺 tysm
@@akiani theres one other animator on CZcams who did brother bear, he's really talented for making animals talk but with realistic mouth movements of an real animal
Whoa, this actually gave more in depth and backstory insight to Proteus then we would ever now!
Baxter is a total legend.
SO. MANY. *FRAMES.*
Honestly? Animation goals
Man used to draw cartoons, now cartoons draw man.
how does this only have 16k views omg this is pure art
the animation is so.... wow
oh my god the animators before cgi and computers were a LEGENDDD 😭💖😵
Really nice work to look at.
They don't make em' like they used to.
Thats smooth and really nice
Pen and Paper: The cheapest and most reliable hardware to animate and render 😆👌
Masterful work. God bless
Nice animation so smooooth
Beautiful 🥰
Wow this must be hard to make iam subscribing for sure
Bro it's sad Disney won't make another movie like this and other old Disney movies I love the animation so much
This is dreamworks
@@therandomd2717 I mean in that animation style
Sinbad Pencil Test
Proteus lookin’ like a snack
Wonderful
Wooow smooth
Nossa que legal! Admiro muito pessoas que fazem animações, mas esta ficou incrível!
This guys fingers must be ripped.
this is insane
Muy buenos trabajos de verdad 🙂
Very...Very good.
James Baxter animates a horse in Adventure Time in case y'all didn't know. The horse is actually really funny too.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!
So cool
god, how does he do it
The SASS
Slick!
James Baxter was not a horse in adventure time ???
This looks amazing. I wonder how long it took omg
So awsome,be blessed and all in Jesus shalom
Woww 😯
Nice
How long did it take just to make a 30 sec animation like this?
Holy fuck.
How did none of these get into the final movie..?
how many frames drawn per second?
He's the one who draws great horses right? Like the one in adventure time?
The stand-in voices are always interesting.😝
bisexual panic
Nice animation but where what movie is this from?
Dreamworks's sinbad
Is this a homework? If so was it from the same teacher who made students draw a character head rotation and say "meow"?
i think it was pencilwork from the actual movie
No it's a actual captured pencil animation from the movie. These are animated by James Baxter
I miss these kind of animation in cartoons because most of the cartoon animation today is too childish and silly.
Look like 3d
30 fps right? That because it smoth + detail
24, sometimes even 12FPS for some frames
@@Xenderman oh i see
No Brad pit voice
Ok but its sindbad in Arabic
Over laped animation! Tsh!!
this is disney
I hated this movie
