I remember very well what it was like in my childhood in a very backward part of the country [Appalachia]. We had this tub with a wringer, and it was an ordeal.

Following each of the 24,000 hand-sketched storyboards that illustrate the scenes, the animator dresses the set, puts in props (tomatoes made of wax, teddy-bear fur painted green for grass), gives each character the subtlest facial makeover and takes the picture. Animators must also be actors. Often they record themselves performing the action they are about to execute, then consult the video as they adjust a figure's lips or brow...
