The 1950s emerged as a transformative decade for animation, influenced by the post-World War II recovery. This era saw a resurgence in animated feature films, particularly from Disney, which established key principles that shaped future animations. Celebrated films like 'Alice in Wonderland' showcased distinctive artistic contributions, such as designer Mary Blair's vibrant color studies. The spirit of creativity during this period not only set the stage for successful animated productions but also influenced global animation styles, solidifying the foundation for decades of animated storytelling.
The Disney films made in the '50s created a bedrock for all others to follow.
For Alice in Wonderland, she [Mary Blair] made hundreds of gouache studies, in which the heroine falls down the rabbit hole into a technicolored world of unusual colour contrasts.
This '50s animated movie is perfection and manages to bring out the character of the artists behind the on-screen.
