Adding sound effects to cartoons is fairly easy in the age of computers. Sound effects are recorded, used, shared, archived, sold, and used again. But in the early days of animation, production crews had to use whatever they could to reproduce the sounds they wanted. And they could get pretty creative! See Disney foley artists making sound effects and then be surprised at how they were used in the finished product.

The archive of sound effects back then were kept in these guy's heads. Imagine the workshop they kept, with all the weird items they built to make specific sounds. What a cool job! -via <a href="https://digg.com/video/have-your-mind-blown-by-the-way-disney-made-sound-effects-in-its-old-movies" alt="Digg&nbsp;" class="on">Digg&nbsp;</a>​ #soundeffects #foleyartist #Disney #cartoon
