“Historically speaking, animating female characters are really, really difficult, ’cause they have to go through these range of emotions, but they’re very, very — you have to keep them pretty and they’re very sensitive to — you can get them off a model very quickly. So, having a film with two hero female characters was really tough, and having them both in the scene and look very different if they’re echoing the same expression; that Elsa looking angry looks different from Anna being angry.” — Lino Disalvo on animating Frozen, explaining (essentially) why they removed all the female supporting characters and replaced them with men. [[edited for accuracy]]

Yeah, I call bullshit.

don’t blame women because you’re a shitty animator

so basically what you’re saying is

“it was too harddddddd I didn’t wannaaaaaa.”

“i dont care enough about women to animate them like reeeaaal peopleeee”

No. You don’t understand. You’re all ignorant fuckwads. Let me explain you a thing. Female faces? They’re softer. As in regardless of bone structure their faces are SOFT looking. Because of this, light bends differently and catches angles differently and the what not. Its harder to animate/draw/paint the female form, as any artist. It’s the same issue with babies- the SOFTNESS of the figure makes it harder to art them. And now I’m done with this tangent flies into the sun.

Excuse me?

Also untrue. 

As evidenced by all of these guys with soft faces

none of whom are impressed by your sexist bullshit

female skin is NOT different from male skin, biologically

female skin isn’t softer, you’re just trained to think of it that way by media and our societal expectation that women use make-up to MAKE their skin look softer, which has not been done all throughout history and thus doesn’t actually make any sense in a movie set in a historical time period when nobody expected anybody to have flawless skin

the problem isn’t animating women

the problem is animating women to look like an ideal while still keeping them diverse

If animators treated women like humans beings they wouldn’t have this problem

look at all of these soft faces

Don’t even fucking talk to me about Kadaj

This gifset is making you look as sexist as you are, say cheese!

Look at Shrek and Fiona next to each other

It doesn’t matter if they’re humans or ogres

their skin is animated exactly the same

Same for Lem and Neera

OH WOW HER SKIN IS SO MUCH SOFTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN HIS are you fucking kidding me with this

Basically fuck you

This is amazing.
Also I quite often have teachers tell me I need to down grade the way I draw noses and eyebrows and such on women. Draw less lines and details on women, they must all be beautiful and soft looking. I’ve actually had a teacher say: that’s why anime is so successful because the eyes are so big and they hardly even draw the nose. It’s appealing and should be used when always drawing women and children. AND THIS IRRITATES ME SO MUCH. I know it sells but I don’t want that. I want diverse, REALISTIC and different women with big noses and bushy eyebrows. With cheekbones and square jaws even. Not every female has a tiny, perfect nose, round features and perfect soft skin. arrrrrg 

I.. I’m just so happy that people are using both 3D and traditional animation in this post about animation… it’s so wonderful to see… thank you ;_;

All this delicious animation talk belongs on my dashboard.

Bless this post
