This was a standard frame rate for animation in the 1990s and is still commonly used today.
While 24 fps may seem low by today's standards (films now often use 24 or even 48 fps), it was sufficient to create the illusion of smooth motion in these cartoons. Animators used a variety of techniques to enhance fluidity, including:
* Limited animation: This technique involves using fewer frames per second for static scenes or moments of less movement, and more frames for dynamic action sequences.
* Animation cycles: These are repeating loops of animation that can be used to create the illusion of continuous movement, such as walking or running.
* Careful timing: Animators adjust the timing of each frame to create the desired sense of speed and flow.
Ultimately, these factors combined with the artistry and skill of the animators contributed to the fluidity and charm of these classic cartoons.
