technology than film and specifically animation. Animation itself was born out of the evolution of technology, specifically photography. Eadweard Muybridge inspired a new way to capture motion with his photographs of animals and humans in motion, other advancements in the camera pushed film forwards, but it was the mistake of George Melies that the discovery of stop-motion cam out of, and thus the bases for animation as we know it today. In the roaring ‘20s animation was influenced by comic…

Harness your vision: In the mid-1960s, with television growing at such a rate, Cooney realized and saw a need for a children's program. Underestimate the roadblocks: Joan went through dozens of educators in order to be able to finally develop her idea for a daily, hour-long show that had good language and also happened to be very educational but also very entertaining. Despite all the discouragement that was received from both her immediate boss and the president of Channel 13. Joan found a way…

Robinson, T., Callister, M., Magoffin, D., Moore, J. (August 2007).The portrayal of older characters in Disney animated films. Journal of Aging Studies, 203-213, 12. Upon reviewing my understanding on the text, “The portrayal of older characters in Disney animated films,” the main argument that was presented was how the use and creation of older characters are either negatively or positively impacting children and how children perceive older characters in Disney films by continuing to consume…

Boo! A Madea Halloween produced by Lionsgate and directed by and started Tyler Perry is very humorous. This is a hilarious horror comedy. The movie is about the main character Madea and her friends babysitting her teenage cousin (Tiffany) on Halloween. Madea’s teenage cousin decided to sneak out and go to a frat party on Halloween and plays Halloween pranks on Madea (played by Tyler Perry) and her friends. Some of the things that make Boo! A Madea Halloween a very humorous movie is the…

What time is it? Time to reconnoitre the psychedelic darkness and yet the sunny disposition of one of the world’s most popular animated children’s series ‘Adventure Time’ - (Cartoon Network, Pendleton Ward, 2008) and what makes this unorthodox animation lure and appeal to both the young and the mature intellects – uncovering its mass of kaleidoscopic pedagogic episodes that illuminate the uncomfortable themes of reality. Death, cannibalism, depression, an abundance of horror glazed over by the…

The godfather’s of animation and the - , How do they compare to one another?, How do they vary?. One might think the similarities between animation and painting is scarce, but when the traditional methods are brought to light can that still be considered as true?. When people aspire toward’s animation in today’s society, it often the bastions of traditional animation that capture the imagination, such as Studio Ghibli, founded by animator and director Hayao Miyazaki. The dedication by the…

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…

Product placement is an ingenious way to communicate marketing messages if done in a befittingly manner. My favorite product placement is Reece's Pieces candy in the 1982 blockbuster movie E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (M&Ms and E.T., n.d.). The main character Elliot lures E.T. to his house with a trail of Reece's Pieces candy. The candy was a token of the friendship the two were developing. It was relevant and heartwarming product placement that was a hit since sales of the candy skyrocketed while…

Japanese woodblock prints transition into Ukiyo-e, which means “pictures of the floating world”, towards the end of the feudal era called the Edo period, 1603-1868 CE. Hishikawa Moronobu, 1618-1694, was the first great master that popularized this style of print in Japan, that eventually spread to the rest of the world. Suzuki Harunobu, 1725-1770, was the first to create and produce full (more than two or three) color prints, which led to more elaborate and colorful prints as the years…
