Ub Iwerks used to have the cels and backgrounds for his studio's 
animated cartoons painted in color, even though they were photographed 
in black and white, believing that it gave them more contrast and 
vividness. It's an interesting theory, though I wouldn't have guessed it 
from the results. I mean, it could be true, but I wouldn't have looked 
at the finished cartoons and guessed they'd been painted in color first.
