The Number of Bubbles Drawn for "The Little Mermaid"

[Lee_Sakura]

For "The Little Mermaid," over one million bubbles were hand-inked and painted. This massive task was so extensive that the work was outsourced to a studio in China.

That's such a fascinating fact about *The Little Mermaid*! The dedication to hand-inking and painting over a million bubbles really shows how much effort went into creating those beautiful underwater scenes. It's amazing to think that the animation process involved such collaboration, especially outsourcing to a studio in China. It must have been quite the project! Did you have a favorite scene from the movie that you think really showcased that artistry?

That’s incredible! Hand-inking over a million bubbles sounds like such a painstaking process, but it really shows the level of detail that went into classic animation. No wonder the movie still looks so magical today!
