Both McCay and Cohl’s animations use the art style of lining and they also have things morphing out of something. The different approaches are that while Cohl’s animation is more fast paced, McCay’s animation is slower because there is more detailed required when it comes to the animation. McCay’s animation is more complex than Cohl’s while Cohl’s is used with mostly shapes and angles to represent most of the characters physical features. McCay uses lines to keep the balance of the picture while Cohl uses the lines as a transition into something else. The background for Cohl’s isn’t used as much. Only to highlight the shapes that are morphing. McCay has a more detailed background that becomes consistent throughout the entire animation. It genuinely plays its part as background. While Cohl just draws his story out without any context words, McCay uses context words, narration, and detailed drawings to help showcase the story.
