but they obviously went back to xerography, because look at the lines on these guys: they can be solid block colors, and theoretically look more realistic and less cartoony. but it’s apparently something like chemical screen-printing onto the cel, the benefit of which is that the lines didn’t have to be in black and white, they can be in color (xerox couldn’t do color at that time), so in other words the characters don’t have to be outlined. I’ve never actually animated anything, and have spent limited time in a darkroom. I’d try to explain the ATP thing, but I’d just be quoting wikipedia directly at that point, because I don’t totally understand it.

however, it was shitty, and most of the movie was shot using the xerographic method Disney had been using since the 1950s. So here’s some information that may be boring: the “ ATP process” for transferring drawings to cels was invented for this movie.

Here’s some Magic Man gifs to start off your week right: probably there’s so much Marshall-Gumball fanfic because it’s rumored that Marceline and Bubblegum had a thing at one point, but this is only vaguely suggested in one episode and I think the reaction to it was hysterical lesbians-are-contagious-even-when-they’re-cartoons bullshit. Something I did not know until I googled Marshall Lee is that there is a significant genre of fanfic out there featuring Prince Gumball (Princess Bubblegum’s genderswap) and Marshall Lee in tender embrace, which I guess I can get behind and in bizarro-real-world that would be Donald Glover and Neil Patrick Harris in tender embrace, which I can definitely get behind. SPEAKING OF ADVENTURE TIME: I just read that Donald Glover, of Community, will be the voice of Marshall Lee, which is Marceline the Vampire Queen’s bizarro genderswap, in the upcoming episode Bad Little Boy.Īnd they’re wearing the same shirt! boners.

I wonder if they actually spoke like that all the time, or if they just did it to crack her up. A friend of mine’s dad used to work with voice actors, and she said they’d always call the house and ask to speak to her dad using their wacky, super-articulate movie-announcer voices. I’d like to know more about voice acting, because I find myself thinking about it a lot. and I wasn’t prepared for the guy who does Zoidberg to go into character all the sudden like that. John Di Maggio (Bender from Futurama and Jake the Dog from Adventure Time) is one of my favorites.
