Why cartoon characters wear gloves
It's always interesting to learn something new. Sometimes you should learn from your own mistakes, but if the answer already found, why not use it.

Using gloves made the characters look more iconic. Gave them an old school look that was associated with this particular set of Disney characters. However, if they weren’t there it wouldn’t impact the characters designs that much overall. And wouldn’t make much of a difference.
As it was said in the video, gloves helped animators to simplify drawing of complicated scenes and made the whole animation process much easier and less time-consuming. So I think, it was a very clever choice to make.
For me, information presented in this video is nothing more than fun fact, but I enjoy watching videos like this.
The facts I saw in this film were really very informative, they showed me cartoons from a different perspective
In my opinion, at that time and in accordance with the conditions and conditions that could exist, it would have been the best decision.
It's always been interesting to me to look at the points that may have been irrelevant to us in the past.
As for me information in this video is just another example of how to simplify complex problem.
Actually I never noticed that, when I was a kid. After that I didn’t watch many cartoons.
Do you think that using gloves was the right decision?
I think yes. It is characteristic idea but it fit perfectly because many people as me never notice that.
Did you learn something new from this video?
Yes, that is more than one reason for wearing gloves by cartoon characters.
No, I even didn't thought about them earlier. For me they were part of the character, especially some of them didn't wear any kind of shirts or jackets.
2.Do you think that using gloves was the right decision?
And who am I to judge it? I never thought about alternatives and I don't think I would come up with better one for black-and-white movies. And in my opinion they didn't got better idea than this.
3.Did you learn something new from this video?
In fact - everything. Never saw any scene from this video before and never thought about gloves for cartoon characters. And what's more - never thought about the answer for that question.
I think that the gloves were a perfect decision. As a child I have obviously noticed them on some of my favourite characters, but have never wondered, why. As most of them were wearing gloves, it became pretty natural to not care about it. It makes a pretty good memory, too. Nowadays, when we see so many 3D characters, we can't really notice anything common about any single one of them. We may just be thankful of having an opportunity to see our childhood have some consistent and easy things to remember.
This video has taught me a lot, since I didn't know any of the reasons behind cartoon characters wearing the gloves. I don't really need that in my life, but I also don't consider it as a waste of time. It even made me smile a bit.
It was a quite interesting presentation for me. It's funny how many details are hidden in such cartoons.
But I think this thing has made cartoons unique and different compare to current time.
I don't know. I don't care about this. I think nobody pays any attention to it. Perhaps the use of gloves was a good decision, but it is difficult to say a word about it.
Interesting movie about wearing gloves by cartoon characters.
I think that using gloves was an ingenious idea. Artists are always constrained by the tools they are using so it takes creativity to overcome these circumstances and using gloves was a good solution.
The video was very interesting, I haven't learned about the history of animation before, so the presented information were new to me. It was also interesting to hear some words of Walt Disney from his book.
Yea, I was always curious why cartoons characters wore items like gloves, hats, glasses and basically these part of clothes which cover detailed parts of human body.
2. Do you think that using gloves was the right decision?
Yes, I find simplifying cartoon characters a very good decision. It makes it easier and more pleasant to watch cartoons, as characters are easier to remember and kids don't have to focus on less important details.
3. Did you learn something new from this video?
I don't know whether I've learned something new, but I was amazed how many details are hidden in such cartoons.
2. Yes, it took less time to draw the details of the body and the presence of the hands of the characters was better perceived by the children.
3. Yes, of course, it was very interesting, now with the cartoons everything is different, it's computer models and more realistic characters.
Of course we learn something from every presentation. This shows that even, unnoticeable at first glance, part of the dress is a solution of the big problem.
is top of the line.. I love such simple solutions.
Although i suspected that they might have been solution to an non obvious problem in the industry, i never really investigated. My theory was simple "To give contrast" of where the arm ends and the hand starts in b&w films. As seen in video it solved another problem of having less to draw each frame (ofc depending on the gloves details) so simply to save time i would never suspect it was a way to reference / pay homage to Vaudeville performances.
Absolutely, It was a right decision, because who really cares?
- Only artists who have to draw it manually.
I did, and I will never forget it. Thanks for the interesting info)
2. Yes. Everything that can ease the production process is a good choice I think. For me it's not a big difference about it.
3. I know quite a lot about cartoons, so it was already known for me.
I've never think about it. But when i saw this heading I hought that is connected with focus us on hands.
After watch this film I think that's good idea. When people watch TV they want to relax so why they should think more than they can.
I rather don't learn nothing new but it is more ordered knowledge.
Yep, it's interesting how people that shoot movies/cartoons or make games care how their creatures will look like for ordinary human and how they think about such small details, that normal human won't even notice!
I didn't think about it. For me it was natural.
2.Do you think that using gloves was the right decision?
The contrast on b&w cartoons, become much better with gloves, so it a brilliant idea in my humble opinion.
3.Did you learn something new from this video?
Yes, I never thought before about this topic, and I'm learned a lot of information from this video.
What’s more interesting - gloves became iconic in old school cartoons.
Isn’t that weird, that all the characters have 4 fingers?
