One MILLION hours?

Isn't this like saying 114 employees devoted one year of their lives to working on the movie? Of course, that's still a little bit of a stretcher, as I doubt any of the 114 worked 24-hour days.

P.S.: Loved the movie!


I could make a mark if it weren't so dark
I could be replaced by any bright spark
But darkness makes me fumble for a key...to a door...that's wide open.....

Believe me it can take take long to produce a film, I've worked in computer animation and graphic design, and it can be pretty time consuming to create something. Even though it's done on computers, animation can be just as meticulous as doing cell animation. You have to be sure that the subject moves properly and is atomically correct. Plus making it talk like a normal person takes time to make sure facial movements are intact. When merging a subject with a background, you have to make sure it fits and doesn't overpower. Plus one three minute scene has various different layers that have to work continuously and don't overlap. A simple 90 minute animation film can take up to two to three years before it's completed.

The movie supported, and i quote from the credits "12,000" jobs. So that's a lot of animators working on one film, thus, 1 Million hours = 114 years, becomes 2 years through spread work load.

Capitalism: *beep* on the little guy whilst making him feel like he has a chance.

A million man - hours. At 8 hour days and 250 working days per year that is 500 people working full time for one year, or 250 people for two years, 125 people for 4 years..
