Have a look at this great illustration from the inside back cover of the comic book adaptation of Walt Disney’s “One Hundred and One Dalmatians”. Drawn by Al Hubbard (who also drew the book-length comic adaptation of the then-new animated film), “Dalmatian Animation” is a simplified explanation of the very complicated animation process.

It’s interesting to see that the way the process is shown here, the voices are added after the animation is done. While this is usually true for some foley and background or ambient sound, nearly all dialog is recorded before the animation begins. This allows the artists to match the audio exactly.
