How imgur users know so much about the coolest topics, we'll never know, but what is clearly obvious is that thegreatjellybean is a Disney wizard.

In the AMAZING (and super educational) "Some of my Favorite Disney Animation/Character Design facts" post, he (or she!) reveals some seriously cool secrets about all kinds of Disney movies and, truth be told, we want to know more. Actually, WE NEED TO KNOW MORE!!!

Here's what we've learned so far. Hopefully, this isn't the last time we'll be hearing mind-blowing Disney facts from thegreatjellybean! (What an awesome username, too.)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Walt Disney had to mortgage his house to help finance the production of Snow White, which eventually ran up a total cost of $1,488,422.74, a massive sum for a feature film in 1937. Adjusted for inflation Snow White is still the highest grossing animated film of all time.



One thing that always blew my mind was Snow White's blush - remember there was no technology back in 1937, that blush was done by hand with paint. I could never work out how it was so subtle and consistent frame-to-frame. As it turns out, to give Snow White a more natural look, some of the ink and paint artists started applying their own rouge on her cheeks.

When Walt Disney asked one how they would apply the rouge correctly for each cel, she responded, "What do you think we've been doing all our lives?"

Frozen

The scene in which Elsa walks out onto the balcony of her newly constructed ice palace in Frozen is 218 frames long, and includes the film’s longest frame to render. The single frame took more than 132 hours to complete (that’s more than five days).



Aladdin

Originally, the peddler who introduces the movie would be revealed to be the Genie at the end - hence the fact that Robin Williams voiced him, too. Notice the similarities in the design of the two, especially the eyebrows, the beard, and the four-fingered hands. (All the other human characters have five fingers.)



Beauty and the Beast

Glen Keane, 30 year disney animator and my personal hero, created his own animal hybrid for the design of the beast by combining the mane of a lion, the beard and head structure of a buffalo, the tusks and nose bridge of a wild boar, the heavily muscled brow of a gorilla, the legs and tail of a wolf, and the big and bulky body of a bear. Glen Keane recently said in an interview that “Beast actually has a rainbow bum but nobody knows that but Belle.”



Big Hero 6

The next animated feature to be released is Big Hero 6 (2014). It is the first Marvel owned story to be produced as an animation by Disney and is set in the fictional city of San Fransokyo; a mash up of Tokyo and San Francsco... just look at that animation *dribble dribble dribble*

The Little Mermaid

Ursula's design and personality were inspired by the drag queen Devine.
