On doing some research into Disney characters I discovered that Disney create many human and non human characters but often give them very human personalities even if they are non human looking. The newer Disney films created by Pixar Studios seem to be completely different from the more traditional Disney films. The main way in which they differ from 2D drawn type cartoons of the more traditional to the 3D looking graphics of newer films. This is probably down to the technology that has been available to Disney studios over their history but is an important change to note. Pixar characters are still usually non human but the films have an element of realism to them. The way in which this is achieved is by primarily realistic use of physics on objects in the films. The scenery is also more realistic looking and their is clear attention to detail.
There tends to be more comedic element in newer Disney films as well as the characters having more personality. The use of detail that is achieved in newer Disney films helps convey the feelings and emotions of the characters in a way the older films could not and certainly helps to build the characters persona and relationship with the audience. All of these findings need to be taken into consideration when designing my new Disney character.
The mood board below helps illustrate the wide range of Disney characters.
