Golden Age Of Animation Vs Renaissance Age

Improved Essays
Now I feel particularly biased answering this question but through research and comparisons I can conclude the Renaissance Age of Animation was better than the Golden Age of Animation. I grew up on these cartoons and of course they evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia, but I see a stronger quality of animation and storytelling during the Renaissance Age.

During this period animation moved from shorts shown in movie theaters to feature length films particularly Disney’s first

Along with this they compare the characters to spider man and superman, saying they are just as…

    So what is the big deal? Only the fact that these stories originated before the 1700s; are these stories the appropriate messages to be sending the next generation and generations to come just like they have been for hundreds of years? Perhaps. In fact, there have been studies showing that young boys exposed to Disney princesses are less likely to conform to stereotypical masculine ideas (Paquette). Nowadays, young boys are expected to play with superheroes, action figures, monster trucks, cars, and anything else that has dirt on it and makes noise.…

    Kirsten Acuna (2015) believes that, at the time those hand animated movies were made, they were considered cutting edge. Now that times have changed, movies are being made in today's technology.

    “The idea that animation is an innocent medium, ostensibly for children, and largely dismissed in film histories, has done much to inhibit the proper discussion of issues concerning representation.“ (Wells, 1998, 187) Disney has had a great impact on our everyday lives. Every child, boy or a girl, and every adult, man or a woman, can say that they have encountered Disney's product at least once. Therefore, it is obvious how the certain features which Disney includes in the movies are important to be analysed and talked of. The movies communicate unique and positive messages about friendship, love, morality, and altruism. But, on the other hand, these messages become abiguous when stereotyping is involved in the description of the characters, different life situations and preferences.…
