multiplane

In 1933 Walt Disney Studios developed a Multiplane Camera that simultaneously shot several levels of cels and backgrounds to give depth to two-dimensional animated films. The Studio used it in a Silly Symphony, “The Old Mill,” in 1937, and then in Disney’s first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This technology was last utilized for The Little Mermaid in 1989, after which time it was retired. There are only three Multiplane cameras on view in the world today, one of which lives in The Walt Disney Family Musuem’s Gallery Five.
