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. Of course we can’t really appreciate the Renaissance without the Golden Age because without it we wouldn’t be where we are now. Don’t get me wrong, the Golden Age had many notable characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tom and Jerry and countless others. During this period animation moved from shorts shown in movie theaters to feature length films particularly Disney’s first

    The majority of large animation producers of the time were drafted in to produce informational films for a number of different aspects of the war effort. Animation was now being sought after as a form of motivating and explaining in an engaging manner due to its relatively simplistic nature of the time (Solomon, 1994).

Delgaudio (1997) claims that animations were effectively filling this role because they are watched more attentively than live action film or lectures.…

    Along with the Renaissance came numerous amateurs that became captivated by the study of art. Countless young boys were sent off by their families to apprentice with a famous artist, in hopes that one day they too would become a great artist. For example, famous Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci apprenticed with Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence learning multiple skills and trades, including sculpting, drawing, painting, and carpentry. Just years before in the Middle Ages, art was made for a specific purpose, like religious reasons, but in the Renaissance art was not only made for spiritual purposes, but for the idea of beauty and the attraction of learning new things.

    During the Renaissance period of the 14th to 17th century, art and architecture between Northern Europe and Italy were both similar and different in many ways. From the detailed work of everyday life of the North to the Neoplatonic allegories of Italian work, the Renaissance was a time of transition and strength. The most dominant similarity between Northern European and Italian Renaissance artwork lies behind the meaning of humanism. During the Renaissance, there was “rebirth of culture”; a shift towards people acknowledging human achievement. In religious pieces of art, Jesus was seen as less Godly and more human-like with emotion.…
