Lilo&Stitch | Old&New Media

I remember seeing Lilo&Stitch when it came out in theaters in 2002. Since I saw it, it has been my all time favorite movie (leave it to Disney right?). I also remember that I always tried to draw sunset pictures for my parents (signed by me, of course) that resembled the sunsets in Lilo&Stitch. After researching the movie, I learned that there was both traditional media, and new technological media used in the creation of the movie. The background of each scene was created with watercolor, which is considered traditional media, while the characters were digitally animated by a computer and therefore are a new media creation. I think that the incorporation of both of these elements are what allowed the movie to be as visually successful as it was. Not only did the use of watercolor make the movie seem timeless, the use of computer animation made the characters come to life.
