Rotoscop Used In Classic Animation

I would not of thought this but rotoscoping was used in a classic animation. This animation was that of the character of Betty Boop. a footage sequence of a Hawaiian dancer was used to animate a sequence of betty boops dancing.

I have also found out that animators such as walt disney used the technique of rotoscoping in the early days of animation in films such as snow white and the seven dwarfs and Cinderella. now some people may look at Disney for being a cheat for doing this but looking at the time period that these films were made they did'nt have the technology that we have today, so rotoscoping was a way of making the animated films seem a realistic as possible.
