Passion Pictures Teams Up With Disney For ‘101 Dalmatian Street’ Cartoon Brew Interviews

Passion Pictures makes some of the most accomplished animation in the UK, and Disney knows it. The London-based studio, which grew out of the Disney production Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1987, has already worked on a few shorts for the company, including episodes of Rocket & Groot. So when Disney was looking for a studio to handle its biggest ever animation production in the country – a heritage series based on the 101 Dalmatians franchise – Passion was the obvious choice.

101 Dalmatian Street, which premiered on the Disney Channel UK on March 18, actually emerged from another aborted project. Disney and Passion Animation Studios (Passion’s animation division) had been collaborating on a pilot for Green Park Coachstarz, a show based on the art of James Jarvis. When that fell through, Disney proposed this one instead. “The idea of recreating the original Dalmatiansfilm – in 2d – was really appealing,” said Cara Speller, the show’s executive producer. “We said yes.”

The series isn’t a straight remake, of course. The setting is still Camden (a London neighborhood within walking distance of the Passion studio), but we’re in the modern day. The 101 dogs – many of them descended from the original film’s pooches – live unsupervised at the titular address, where they hang out, hold down jobs, and generally lead more dynamic lives than their ancestors.

The concept came from Helsinki-based Gigglebug Entertainment, who developed it with Disney. By the time it reached Passion, work had begun on the design, and Maria O’Loughlin was onboard as head writer. The studio had never taken on a full series before, and it needed a production partner. It solicited pitches, the best of which came from Vancouver’s Atomic Cartoons.

“We always knew that we wanted to keep all the front-end creative work here,” explained Speller. “We send Atomic a locked animatic [example below], which is an edited storyboard with final dialogue and placeholder sound effects. We also send launch notes on animation and effects. They do the animation and compositing on Harmony; we and Disney see their work at various stages. Then we complete the post-production: music, sound design, final color.” Passion uses Photoshop for the designs and Harmony for the storyboards (with some editing in Premiere). It employs around 50 people on the project, with another 65 at Atomic. Disney itself does no animation, but it is closely involved with every stage of the production.

Atomic’s animators have been very responsive to Passion’s guidance, according to Miklos Weigert, the series’s director. “We were keen on keeping a style related to the movie. Of course, it’s a very different platform and very different type of storytelling. This one is a lot more cartoony, more driven by comedy, so we wanted to make the animation more squashy, stretchy, flexible.” Yet the team still observe basic rules about dog behavior. They bring their own pet dogs (though no Dalmatians) to the office, and study their sounds and movements. Anything that breaks the rules – a character gesturing while moving, say – is ruled out.

When One Hundred and One Dalmatians was released in 1961, it looked unlike anything Disney had made before. The reason was xerography, a technical process developed by animator and all-round innovator Ub Iwerks (together with Xerox). It allowed for animators’ drawings to be printed straight onto cels, cutting out the inking process and preserving the original drawings’ sketchy lines. 101 Dalmatian Street references this aesthetic.

“The original was one of the first films where you saw the artist’s hand,” said Jez Hall, one of the episode directors. “[Before that,] everything was hand-inked by teams of people, so it was a very standard inked line. The Xerox thing retained cleanup, so you could see rough lines… This is a 2d kit-based show, but if you look at the kits, they’ve all got little lines, to make it appear a bit more alive and like it’s all hand-done.”

Xerography also enabled Disney’s artists to copy-paste the dogs with all their spots, which would have been a nightmare to redraw individually. Nowadays, digital technologies perform the same shortcut. On the other hand, 101 Dalmatian Street goes further than the movie in differentiating the dogs – which poses a challenge for designers. “It was a really fun process, because limitation can trigger creativity,” noted Weigert. “We had a lot of fun playing with black and white, or proportions; we introduced new assets, little accessories…”

Nor do the difficulties end there. “It’s the staging and the composition [that’s crucial],” explained Hall. “The dogs are fundamentally white shapes with black spots, so if you get those layered in a shot, it becomes really hard to read. The thing about composition is that at soon as something moves, it breaks – and because this is animation, things move! So we had a lot of back and forth on posing, and line of action, and rule of thirds.” Even so, the team sometimes fudged it: some shots feature more than 101 Dalmatians.

Not all the dogs are speaking roles (yet), but the team has designed 450 characters, 900 locations and 730 props – and they are only 36 episodes in. The first series will comprise 40 11-minute episodes, as well as 10 two-minute shorts (made by Gigglebug) and five 22-minute specials. Overall, the production will run to two-and-a-half years.

“The volume, scale and our ambitions for the series were extremely high,” said Speller. “Our team has met that challenge with impressive energy.” They will need to sustain that energy: Passion’s next project will be its first feature, an animation-live action hybrid which it is developing with DNA Films and Tristar Pictures. Meanwhile, 101 Dalmatian Street will launch across Europe, Middle East, and Africa throughout spring, and in the rest of the world later this year.

Reanimated: The Reunion

Remember that kid I made for a fluff prompt that when the new kid, Sheryl Iwerks was dared to go through the initiation to take a picture of Joey’s ghost in the abandoned Sillyvision to prove she was cool enough to be a part of the cool kids group, but seeing as how Sheryl was already easily scared and sensitive, they planned on making her think she was locked in the studios.  Bendy, although being no longer resembling the cheeky devil in the cartoons, still held an attachment towards kids despite being seen as a monster.  With a little bit of convincing that she means no harm to the studio and being enticed by the smell of her candy trail towards the exit lead the demon right to her crying in distress.  After proving that despite his appearance, the dancing demon wasn’t going to hurt a child unless they vandalize the studio he clings to so strongly.  After Sheryl explains her situations and how she ended up here through her “Friends” initiation, Bendy instantly knows she’s talking about.  These bullies have countless pulled this prank on kids they singled out for years, and if it’s one thing Bendy hates from his own experiences... it’s bullies.  Bendy offers to help her find her way out, as long as Sheryl lets him scare off those bullies for good and no longer invade his home.  After their plan works, Sheryl realizes Bendy must be very lonely... and if he was okay with it, she’ll be his friend and just have to bring more candy to share next time.  Bendy is surprised still that she holds no fear of him, but he admitted that he does miss the sound of laughter in the few good memories he has of this old studio.  Luckily for Sheryl, Bendy has no idea that she is Henry’s daughter, or their friendship would have been DRASTICALLY different.  

But than one day, Sheryl is a little older by now and still held her promise, but where Sillyvision once stood, there was now an empty lot instead.  At the time, Sheryl was heartbroken, but into her adulthood, memories of playing with her “Kitty” as she called Bendy faded into the back of her mind, convinced herself that he was only an imaginary friend she made that day.  Her father Henry, never knew the truth but, but Bendy’s ink trail that still held it’s supernatural capabilities to bring him back was hidden in the back of the attic, to remind Henry to himself of what happens if you try to play god.  But much like his sketchy past, often pushed these thoughts behind him.  I guess you could say it runs in the Iwerks family.  Down the road, Sheryl is now in her late 30′s to early 40′s, Paige is on her way to being an animator like grandpa Henry, who if he were alive today, would have been so proud of his little sweet-pea.  Paige isn’t quite sure to explain this to her mom about a forgotten cartoon character existed in Grandpa’s attic all along in a inkwell, but to her surprise, they already know each other!  Bendy could still see the sweet and quirky child who held no fear of his monstrous size, often giving hugs and giggled as the little blonde pigtails wearing ruby red rain boots fed the demon candy, often using his claws to gently take it from her hands and than eat the candy with wrapper still on it.  To little Sheryl, he was her Kitty. Bendy, although having trouble speaking without sounding garbled and raspy, had dubbed the child as Blondie.  Sheryl is crying out of happiness, she wanted so hard to believe Bendy was real all along!  Bendy just instantly runs into her arms, sobbing happily as they hug each other.  As soon as the shock wears off, Bendy comments on how she’s gotten so old from the last time he saw her(but in a funny way, as Bendy is a playful butt munch) but Sheryl instantly comments on how Bendy grew DOWN IN SIZE -Admin Lei
