Developing Appealing Characters
Characters & Animation
Walt Disney Animation Studios' collaborative design team is responsible for exploring all possible options for creating the look and appeal of a character. It all begins with a blank sheet of paper or tablet screen. Working with cues from the story team and notes from the directors, our teams are charged with helping to capture the right look to support the emotional core of the character, and define who that character is. Artists, modelers, Character TDs and Look Development all contribute to this integral part of telling our stories.
