Animation Scripts

Lately I've been really curious about scripts for animated feature stories. I'm working on writing an animated TV pilot in my spare time, but I've only done scriptwriting for live action before. I'm really interested in the difference when it comes to animation. Is it more common to put really detailed descriptions of the visuals, or does that come later in the creative process? Does the script usually come before the project, or are they developed in tandem? What kinds of things need to be marked down that you don't need for live action, and vice versa?

I found this site, which has a few feature length scripts to look at. I think the musical numbers are especially interesting to look at. How intricately timed out line-by-line they are.

Here's a Rick and Morty episode script. I wanted to compare feature length films with TV.

They don't have jobs either- Jade has an internship, but only for three hours until she is fired. Chloe meets a TRASH British prince and ignores her best friend Yasmin who finds celebrity judge Byron Powell's (I don't make this stuff up) dog, Ozzy. Jade and Sasha try to do a photo shoot for the magazine, but Sasha micromanages the whole thing and makes her friend feel bad! And this whole time, there's these two evil blond twins (Kaley Cuoco PLA...

The New Spider Man!

Yesterday I saw spiderman with some buddies and we all walked out absolutely giddy! This animation is the best animation to hit the theaters in 2018. Period. I remember watching it and as I was watching it thinking, "thank god I already finished all my reviews because I don't think I can put into words how good this movie is in just a page". The style of this animation is something you have never seen before from Hollywood. It is absolutely stunning. It follows traditions of comic book artists with bright colors, dark lines on the face, and a pop art texture overlayed on top of everything. My breath was taken away during the final fight scene: it was gorgeous , emotional, and the stakes were made clear in every shot. Not only was the animation fantastic, but the story was also so well told. Every character had a meaningful arch or something you didn't expect from them. Every relationship and turning point felt genuine and earned. And you didn't have some v...
