After the Oswald incident, what did Ub Iwerks do?

• A. Produce a new Oswald replacement character
• B. Leave the company
• C. Invent a new animation technique
• D. Draw sketches of a rodent as a possible replacement character

Answer: (C)

The situation tests how Ub Iwerks responded to losing Oswald by pushing the craft forward through new methods. Iwerks was renowned for his speed and technical skill in animation, so he focused on developing a different, more efficient way to bring drawings to life. That drive to improve how animation was made—finding techniques that could deliver expressive, appealing results with fewer drawings—fits best with the idea of inventing a new animation technique. The other options don’t capture this core shift: he didn’t simply abandon the studio, nor was the primary impact about sketching a replacement rodent; the standout move was advancing the technique that kept production viable and enabled new projects to emerge.
