The Little Mermaid was both the last Disney film to use cels and the first to use computer animation. What does this suggest about the Disney film that came next?
(1 point)
O Later Disney films were not animated.
O It depended entirely on computer animation.
• It had even fewer cels than The Little Mermaid.
• Disney stopped animating films after The Little Mermaid.
The statement suggests that the Disney film that came next had even fewer cels than The Little Mermaid. It does not suggest that later Disney films were not animated, depended entirely on computer animation, or that Disney stopped animating films after The Little Mermaid.
The correct answer is: It had even fewer cels than The Little Mermaid.
Since The Little Mermaid was the last Disney film to use cels, and the first to utilize computer animation, it suggests that the next Disney film would have had even fewer cels than The Little Mermaid. This implies that traditional hand-drawn animation would have been further replaced by computer animation in the subsequent film.
To determine what the statement suggests about the Disney film that came next, we need to analyze the information given. According to the statement, The Little Mermaid was the last Disney film to use cels and the first to use computer animation. From this, we can imply that the next Disney film likely had a shift in the animation techniques used.
Based on the options provided:
- "Later Disney films were not animated" is not a logical conclusion. The statement only suggests a change in animation techniques, not that animation entirely ceased.
- "It depended entirely on computer animation" is also not explicitly mentioned. Although The Little Mermaid introduced computer animation, it does not necessarily imply complete dependence on this technique for the next film.
Thus, the most reasonable conclusion is that the Disney film that came after The Little Mermaid had even fewer cels than The Little Mermaid. Since The Little Mermaid was the last Disney film to use cels, this implies a further reduction in their use in the subsequent film. However, it is important to note that this conclusion is based on the information provided and may not necessarily be accurate without additional context.
