Early animated films were based on print comics because they were recognizable. The public commonly read comic strips, so the chances of the film’s success were higher. The visuals for the comic strips were simple, making the production of props and movement much easier to translate onto the big screen. Not only were print comics familiar and simple to recreate, but the characters in the comics were established so the animators already had a headstart for the storyline. Comics made appropriate subjects for film because of the range they were able to have in terms of plot, characters, and settings. Print comics were a widely consumed art form as well.
