Animation Analysis 3

When you start the Aladdin movie, the beginning scene with the merchant shows how staging can be done amazingly well. It starts to focus on the merchant and when the merchant begins to become less interesting, he pulls back the attention by bringing out the magic lamp from his sleeve. This is one of the most memorable scenes of Aladdin because of how it sets the stage for the entire movie. Also, when Robin Williams voice acted the merchant, it was completely made up on the spot, from what I've heard. This scene really is a pretty amazing piece of animation.
