Digital enhancements?


I recently watched this movie, loved it. But I am almost certain at least one scene had some sort of computer graphics animation or digital enhancement: around 37:48, when the princess comes back to the hut, right after one of the fairies says "who left the mop running", Aurora opens the upper and lower halves of the hut's door. The smoothness in that door moving is... amazing. Is it possible that some scenes, or even some parts of scenes, were digitally recreated?

It's more likely the hand-drawn animation was of a quality that hasn't been seen for decades.

Film is 24 fps, but most animation is done "on twos". Each drawing is held for two frames. Good animation has faster objects change ever frame. Even the short https://moviechat.org/tt0022899/Flowers-and-Trees was done like this is 1932. Computer generated scenes are always 24.

If this is correct (and I have no reason to doubt it is), it makes this movie even more awesome in my mind.
