jul 30, 1932 - "Flowers and Trees" - First Three-Strip Technicolor Film
Description:
Produced by Walt Disney and directed by Burt Gillet, a short from Silly Symphonies, a popular series of Disney Short subjects, is known as the first film to use three-strip Technicolor animation. Originally a black and white cartoon, Walt Disney saw Herbert Kalmus' three-strip Technicolor tests and decided that the cartoon would make a perfect test. Because of this, it went on to win the first Academy Award for Animated Short Subjects- another step forward to animation becoming a respectable medium.
