Animators Shape Hollywood Cartoons From Apprentice to Star
A 1936 Every Week Magazine piece surveys Hollywood animators. It notes apprentices earn $15 weekly, top salaries reach about $250 to $300, and Disney studios employ 150 animators plus many assistants and apprentices. The piece highlights the path from trainee to assistant to animator and the need for dramatic sense beyond pure drawing skill.
