How did old animated movies (Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo etc) get made without computers?

So my basic understanding is they were hand drawn, but how does this even work? Did they hand draw every frame brand new each time? Did they erase then redraw the characters that moved and keep the background the same? But wouldnt that mess up the background if they erased even some tiny parts??

SO MANY QUESTIONS

They made backgrounds and overlaid sheets with the characters. This ya certain character frames and backgrounds can be reused. And a shit ton of work and workers.
