Before the princesses ever graced the screen, women were behind the scenes—inking, painting, and perfecting every frame. In this episode, Stauney and Sadie dive into the dazzling yet demanding world of the Ink and Paint Department during Disney’s golden age. From the meticulous artistry of the Ink and Paint Girls to the trailblazing early female animators who carved a path in a male-dominated studio system, we uncover the unsung labor that brought some of Disney’s most iconic films to life. We’re talking long hours, eye-straining detail, and the color charts that changed animation history. It's time these women got the spotlight they deserve.
