...action show. To save money, much of the work is shipped overseas, usually to the Far East. Artists there do most of the frame-by-frame drawings, working from character models and storyboards prepared in the U.S. Computer animation is also being used to provide more visual texture and fluid motion. With computers, for example, Disney's forthcoming The Rescuers Down Under was able to use a palette of several hundred colors, many times the number used in most animated features...
