2D Animation is Lots Work

To give you an idea of how much work was involved in the character animations I stacked up the animation drawings and took this picture. This does not include lots of drawings that went into the scrap pile. I am debating what to do with these thousands of drawings.

All these drawings are for all the cool dance animations the characters perform. It's pretty hard to appreciate the amount of effort that went into this, but we wanted to create something that had a unique look. Unfortuntely when playing you can so focused on the game play you may not even notice all the cool animation. You can see a sequence of drawings from one of Slim's moves below.
