Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy

One of the lovliest characters ever in a Disney movie is the Blue Fairy in Pinocchio. If you wonder why her animation seems so naturalistic, especially compared to the style of the film, it is because she was rotoscoped. Rotoscoping is the process of filming a real actor or actress, printing out stills and transforming the person into your character. The modern day equivalent of this process is called Motion Capture (Gollum in LOTR was created with Motion Capture).

Pinocchio is still one of the most beautiful films produced by The Walt Disney Studios. If you have never seen it, check it out!
