El secreto del por qué Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny y otros personajes animados usan guantes

Mickey Mouse, Goofy y Pinocho de Disney, Bugs Bunny, los Animaniacs y Looney Tunes, son algunos de los personajes animados más famosos de la televisión, sin embargo, la popularidad no es el único aspecto que tienen en común. Además de ser muy graciosos y los protagonistas de divertidas aventuras, cada una de estas figuras lleva puesto un par de guantes blancos. ¿Alguna vez te lo habías preguntado?

Algunos de estos personajes, como en el caso del ratón de Disney, debutaron hace varias décadas cuando la televisión era aún en blanco y negro. En ese entonces, los procesos de animación no eran tan avanzados como lo son hoy en día, en el que se utilizan técnicas digitales y herramientas tecnológicas para representar historias visualmente impactantes como Spider-Man: A través del Spider-Verso, Más allá de la Luna y las cintas de la franquicia de Pixar.

Durante los inicios de la animación, cuando solía ser un proceso en el que se necesitaba de mucho más tiempo y precisión para crear a los personajes, los animadores encontraron atajos, como el reciclaje de escenas, para hacer su trabajo un poco más fácil. Siendo que, animar un par de escenas podía tomar muchas horas frente al lápiz y el papel, los guantes ayudaron a simplificar la animación y hacerla más rápida.

Más aún, en la era de los dibujos animados en blanco y negro, era difícil para los espectadores identificar las manos de los personajes. Esto se volvía aún más complicado con figuras como Mickey y Minnie Mouse cuyos cuerpos son completamente oscuros. Los guantes fueron una manera fácil de hacer que sus manos resaltaran de las otras escenas. Con el uso de guantes blancos, el público podía ver los gestos de sus manos, contrastar con otras partes de sus cuerpos y entender qué es lo que estaba pasando en la pantalla.

¿Quién pensó en ponerle guantes a las caricaturas?

De acuerdo con Vox, Walt Disney podría haber sido el primero en poner guantes a sus personajes en The Opry House, protagonizada por Mickey Mouse. Sin embargo, una vez que la animación se alejó del blanco y negro y la pantalla tomó color, Mickey y sus amigos mantuvieron sus característicos guantes blancos. Esta tendencia fue seguida por otros dibujos animados como Bugs Bunny y los Looney Tunes.

Mickey Mouse junto a una versión más antigua que no llevaba guantes.

Además, según palabras del propio Walt Disney, los guantes ayudaban a humanizar al ratón y a hacerlo más carismático: “No queríamos que tuviera manos de ratón porque se suponía que era más humano. Entonces le dimos guantes. Cinco dedos parecían demasiado para una figura tan pequeña, así que le quitamos uno. Eso fue sólo un dedo menos para animar”. Fue así que este accesorio se volvió útil en más de un sentido, dando una personalidad única a estas figuras animadas.
