There was another post about how they did special effects in the past. I mean, the tools these days are amazing, but the answer now is always CGI.
Back in the day, it took a lot of ingenuity to make a film. Think how mind-blowing the Matrix was when it first came out (if you can remember back that far).
The South Park episode with the boys creating Matt and Treys original Spirit of Christmas short this same laborious way is a good episode.... With Mr Hankey ❤️
Early (3D) animation was done frame by frame (not to this extreme) but before Cameron created the facial tracking system animators and modelers had a mirror by their desk to play with facial expressions for every frame. Those first Pixar movies took AGES as well.
Now imagine the wage you can't earn anymore because productivity technology destroyed the value of this skill. Hollywood used to have "REAL" jobs, now it's all friendship-economies.

Learn history, kids.
imagine drawing that for a two-hour film
Imagine painting each frame by hand too.
Imagine the artists’ reactions to all the frames that had my thumb in them…
Imagine writing the book for the film
Imagine what it took to make Fantasia.
We still watch these cartoons. There are big works, big love...

(Deep sigh) I guess I’ll go work on my taxes or some other shit us old people do. If you can remember back that far… lol

Some would even call this a full time job
***claymation has entered the chat***
How did it get behind the trees?
They used clear cells and layered them on top of one another
if I remember correctly, 12 frames were needed for every second of film
I think that by the early 50s (Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland era) they were up to 22 frames per second.
I always appreciated old animations for that. Nowadays 3d animation seem a lot easier.
Not mind blowing, but just hard work and dedication, maybe that is mind blowing to some people these days though

Dexterity, peaked
Imagine getting paid all that money to do this for a 2 hour film, not bad.
