highest grossing animated feature of all time. Despite these definitive announcements, however, Frozen still underwent numerous transformations between 2011 and 2013 to become the feature we all undoubtedly saw two years ago. 1.

is more than likely that you have watched one if not all of the holiday specials that Charles M. Schulz has contributed to society through his legendary Peanuts cartoons. Whether it’s “The Great Pumpkin” or “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, Schulz’s animations have remained a tradition in American families’ homes for years. With his endearing characters and moral lessons, Schulz has created an archive of masterpieces that don’t seem to be leaving our culture anytime soon. At its start, Peanuts was…

Like color, while music generally did accompany animation, the recording of the human voice changed the animation game and therefore the way they worked and their influences. In the 1940s recorded sound allowed for the characters in films to talk. Unlike the cartoons of the of the Silent Era, cartoons of the ‘40s were influenced by radio personalities as they would provide the voices that helped to define the character. The most notable radio personality turned voice over artist is Mel Blanc.…

The Toy Story trilogy is a Disney Pixar classic because it was the beginning of an era for the company. Toy Story was the first Pixar movie to come out in 1995. Since the release of Toy Story they have not had a flop. They created some type of voodoo magic to make a trilogy that was not only cohesive but well liked by the masses.

I found this particular piece of artwork in the tunnels near Lanark residence, and obviously painted by some of its floor members quite a few years ago. This particular sign caught my eye because I was curious as to why an entire floor of people would choose a 2001 children’s animated movie to represent them in a public area for an indeterminate amount of time. I believe that the Shrek painting is a perfect example of a social media meme. According to Little (2014), “Internet memes—images that…

Miyazaki then went on to attend Toyotama High School where his interest in animation really peaked after he seen the movie Panda and the Magic Serpent. Miyazaki attended Gakushuin University where he furthered his interest in animation by joining a children’s literature club which was the “closest thing to a comics club in those days” according to Miyazaki.

Frequently, Pixar produces a short film that sends an important message; it may send a message about bullying, playing fair, following the rules, or many other of life’s lessons. “For the Birds” addresses bullying, the social problem that affects all schools, playgrounds, and workplaces. The film conveys its message through the funny, furry, fluffy, faction of birds and humor. Overall, Pixar short films teach about life lessons and what the outcome will be when a person follows society’s rules…

Many film adaptations and spoofs have been produced throughout the decades with regards to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Even though not one of these will live up to the legacy that is Frankenstein, it is interesting to see in what ways they have honored the original piece. Animated films bring their own unique perspective to the table. This is a result of the majority of these movies being meant for children and, in turn, not portraying the correct physical appearance. However, the movies are…

A mixture of bold, sweet, gorgeous, funny and sometimes sad, ‘Inside Out’ has certainly found a place in the heart of children and adults alike. The movie was borne out of an original idea by Pete Docter and was co-directed by Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen. An animated film with the characters voiced by prolific actors such as Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black and Mindy Kahling, the movie taps into complex psyche of a child and tries to answer some profound questions about a…
