History of Animation

It is amazing that this show is still going. I sometimes wonder if this show will out live us all.https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Serverhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004981/?ref_=tt_ov_wrhttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flanderizationhttps://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Simpsons_Wikihttps://www.gq.com/story/the-simpsons-second-lifehttps://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Simpsons#:~:text=Created%20by%20cartoonist%20Matt%20Groening,airing%20regularly%20in%20January%201990.https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/simpson-family-television-debut-30-years-ago-180962482/https://www.liveabout.com/how-the-simpsons-began-135491https://www.britannica.com/biography/Matt-Groeninghttps://www.infoplease.com/culture-entertainment/tv-radio/simpsons-historyhttps://www.biography.com/movies-tv/matt-groening-the-simpsonshttps://www.gq.com/story/the-simpsons-second-lifehttps://www.historyhit.com/culture/first-episode-simpsons-airs/https://www.lambiek.net/artists/g/groening_homer.htm

I think Oswald shows how creators need to be careful with the deals they make. The last thing that any one wants is to lose their creation. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Serverhttps://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbithttps://silentfilm.org/oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-1927-1928/https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/02/disney100-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-collection-now-live-on-shopdisney-and-at-disney-parks/https://oswaldtheluckyrabbit.fandom.com/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbithttps://thewaltdisneycompany.com/oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-stars-in-a-new-walt-disney-animation-studios-short-for-disney-100-years-of-wonder/https://www.chasingdreamswithmike.com/blogs/chasing-dreams-with-mike-1/the-drama-and-the-history-of-oswald-the-lucky-rabbithttps://www.polygon.com/23487855/disney-animation-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-new-shorthttps://www.laco.org/the-birth-of-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit/https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/12750497/how-espn-traded-al-michaels-oswald-rabbit

A lot of his work didn't make a lot of money at the box office but it is all amazing and I do recommend all of it.https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Serverhttp://www.donbluthstudios.com/?fbclid=IwAR2IPiyudFJWJscivx1wXhKZRN6I_t9GpRDPPJr8KLB9eF2dyPZFsu_s9k0https://www.cartoonbrew.com/video-essay/disney-don-bluth-animation-war-video-218414.htmlhttp://www.cataroo.com/DBbio.htmlhttps://videolibrarian.com/articles/essays/don-bluth-the-man-who-challenged-the-mouse/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0089940/bio/https://www.donbluthanimation.com/about.htmhttps://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-08-21/don-bluth-career-secret-of-nimh-anastasia-disney

Iwerks is a very important figure at Disney. It kind of sucks that his most famous accomplishments are credited to Walt Disney but at least now you all will know.https://www.waltdisney.org/blog/ub-iwerks-master-animation-and-technologyhttps://d23.com/walt-disney-legend/ub-iwerks/https://www.lambiek.net/artists/i/iwerks_ub.htmhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0412650/https://news.azpm.org/p/news-npr/2021/7/7/197019-walt-disney-didnt-actually-draw-mickey-mouse-meet-the-kansas-city-artist-who-did/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ub-Iwerkshttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/UbIwerkshttps://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/11/ub-iwerks-from-mickey-mouse-to-the-magic-kingdom/https://www.waltdisney.org/blog/making-101-dalmatians

Like I mentioned I took a brake for a few reasons. I got sick, I was busy with other projects and I also wasn't sure if I should make anything related to the studios that where getting striked. I feeling better and now that the strikes are over I want to release more episodes again. I started a discord server so please join and we can talk about animation history. I would love to know what you all want to learn more about.https://discord.gg/8yyNAwk3RYhttps://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c8h70jzr/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/559607/index.htmlhttps://animacam.tv/en/1803-2/https://www.britannica.com/biography/J-Stuart-Blacktonhttps://medium.com/@joedonan/before-disney-meet-the-father-of-american-animation-2f2e473fc9d1https://www.victorian-cinema.net/blackton

This was an interesting one to look up. I mostly did this episode cause have how often I see the recreation of the motorcycle scene from it. I had no idea that it had such a high budget but it makes sense. Some of those scenes would be hard to animate today so I can only image how much it took to animate them back then.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0960028/?ref_=tt_ov_drhttps://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Akira_(anime)https://movies.fandom.com/wiki/Akira/Productionhttps://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/story-behind-film-akira/https://www.linearity.io/blog/akira/https://row.oneblockdown.it/blogs/archive/akira-anime-sabukaru-history-lessonhttps://cinemadailyus.com/news/akira-manga-artist-katsuhiro-otomo-working-on-new-project/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2014/05/03/books/book-reviews/akira/https://medium.com/anitay-official/katsuhiro-otomo-retrospective-akira-7e00d49ca56fhttps://www.lambiek.net/artists/o/otomo_katsuhiro.htmhttps://akiramanga.comhttps://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Akira_(manga)

His birth name is Emile Eugène Jean Louis Courtet. I am sorry for not being able to pronounce it. I do my best but this one was just too hard for me.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0169871/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_smhttps://www.lambiek.net/artists/c/cohl_emile.htmhttps://makematic.com/blog/emile-cohl-father-of-animated-cartoonhttps://www.rem.routledge.com/articles/cohl-emile-1857-1938https://traumundexzess.com/2015/12/28/emile-cohl-master-of-animation/https://www.themoviedb.org/person/931794-mile-cohl?language=en-UShttps://artlark.org/2022/08/17/fantasmagorie-the-first-ever-cartoon/https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/07/before-walt-disney-5-pioneers-of-early-animation/241448/https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/12/06/the-first-fully-animated-film-ever-the-1908-fantasmagorie-was-made-by-emile-cohl/https://animaders.com/humorous-phases-of-funny-faces/

This was super interesting to look into. I had no idea that they had a union until now. I do hope that they gain some power and they improve the working conditions. We need artist to be happy and healthy so that they can make great art for us to enjoy.It does seem that the VFX team behind the marvel movies has voted to unionize. I defiantly would have mentioned that in this episode but I had already finished it before I heard. I wish them the best of luck.https://www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-rights/why-the-anime-industry-lacks-unions-and-how-that-could-change-a-veteran-producer-speaks-212042.htmlhttps://animationobsessive.substack.com/p/hayao-miyazaki-union-manhttps://www.denofgeek.com/movies/hayao-miyazakis-path-to-studio-ghibli/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322909809_Blood_Sweat_Ink_and_Tears_Exploitation_of_Labour_in_the_Japanese_Animation_Industryhttps://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2021-07-21/i-have-some-horror-stories-animator-talks-industry-problems-hopes-for-the-future/.175178https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/7/2/20677237/anime-industry-japan-artists-pay-labor-abuse-neon-genesis-evangelion-netflix

I honestly thought that Steam Boat Willie was the first use of synchronized sound before I looked this up. At this point I don't know why I am surprised.https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Celebrity_Productionshttps://www.fleischerstudios.com/filmography.htmlhttps://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/max-and-dave-thats-the-way-the-ball-bounces-chapter-1/https://www.fleischerallstars.com/oh-mabel.htmlhttps://americasbesthistory.com/abhtimeline1923m.htmlhttps://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/4704000https://www.atos.org/koko-and-his-bouncing-ball

It was really amazing to go to Burny Mattinson a Life Celebration. He had an amazing life and was an amazing artist.https://movieweb.com/how-the-great-mouse-detective-saved-disney/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldronhttps://www.slate.com/articles/arts/dvdextras/2010/10/the_black_cauldron.html

The YouTube links will take you to his work. Like I say in the video I really recommend seeing Hedgehog in the Fog. It is truly an amazing piece of animation.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0635956/?ref_=tt_cl_t_2https://www.cartoonbrew.com/video-essay/the-overcoat-has-been-in-production-for-40-years-and-its-not-even-close-to-being-finished-209806.htmlhttps://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/09/15/on-this-day-renowned-soviet-animator-yuri-norstein-turns-80-a75056https://animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-guide-to-yuri-norstein-hedgehoghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKDeMBzXnpghttps://www.rbth.com/arts/334507-norstein-hedgehog-foghttp://russia-ic.com/people/general/n/213https://50wattsbooks.com/products/hedgehog-in-the-foghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjYxhTBhQvg
