Looking at Darby O' Gill, old and insane practical fx
Anyone else ever watch old Disney videos? I recently watched this for the first time in about 15 years, and blown away by the mass use of forced perspective even when laughing at the cartoon 'Magic', the absurd over sized props and esp the sped up dancing? , this scene in particular 
you can tell something is wrong, but they usually hid the lines very well 
Anyway, just something I found interesting. We've come a long way, Sort of.

Makes you think about how much they depended on film grain to cover up/blend the seams.

The one that was hardest (for me) was the opening scene of the first clip i posted, the walk through, and the walk by, the 'Puppets' in the foreground turning their heads really sell it.

Corridor finally reacted to this, I asked for it a year ago and figured that my one out of several thousand requests had been overlooked, but apparently they read the comments 😃
My favorite part is that the things that really blew my mind (mentioned earlier in the thread) are the same things that shocked them😆
