Unlike live-action scripts, animation scripts are typically written in a two-column format with dialogue on one side and visual descriptions on the other, a technique pioneered by Disney Studios in the 1930s that's still industry standard today.
The script for Toy Story 3 took 12 years to develop from initial concept to final shooting script, with over 40 complete rewrites before production began in 2008.
Animation scriptwriters follow the '11-second rule' where each page of script equals roughly 11 seconds of screen time, compared to the 1-minute-per-page rule in live-action, making a 90-minute animated film script about 500 pages long.
Many classic animated films, including most early Disney features, were actually written through storyboards first with dialogue added later—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) had over 250,000 storyboard drawings before a final script was completed.
Tom and Jerry cartoons from 1940-1958 had virtually no dialogue scripts, yet each 7-minute episode required 50-75 pages of detailed action descriptions and timing notes for animators.
Japanese anime scripts follow a different format entirely, typically running 1 page per 1 minute of animation and including detailed emotional direction (like 'pause for 3 seconds while character contemplates') that would be considered excessive in Western scripts.
Each episode of The Simpsons goes through an average of 6-8 complete script rewrites and a table read with the entire cast before animation begins, with the writers' room spending 2-3 weeks per 22-minute episode.
Legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki often begins production on his films with only 20-30% of the script completed, preferring to develop the story organically during the animation process—Spirited Away started with just the opening sequences scripted.
Animation scripts are valued differently than live-action: the Writers Guild of America sets minimum compensation for a 90-minute animated screenplay at approximately $150,000, about 40% higher than live-action due to the additional technical specifications required.
Animation scripts uniquely include onomatopoeia and sound effect descriptions written directly into the dialogue column (like 'BOING!' or 'WHOOSH!'), a practice dating back to 1920s radio play scripts that cartoon writers adopted.
Animation scripts contain 3-5 times more parenthetical emotional directions than live-action scripts because voice actors record in isolation without scene context, making notations like '(gleeful but menacing)' essential for performance.
Classic Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons followed a strict 4-page script structure regardless of gags or plot, with each page representing approximately 90 seconds and containing exactly 3 major 'laugh moments'—a formula that resulted in over 1,000 theatrical shorts.
