[emeraldcity1900]

the history of animation in a nutshell

Early 1900s: hey what if comic strips could like move?

Late 1910s early 1920s hey what if we mashed this up with live action people?

late 1920s: hey what if this thing had sound?

Early to mid 1930s: hey what if this had people actually talking and also color?

late 1930s: hey you know that super cool movie that one lady animated with paper cut out silhouettes? What if we did that with painted cells? Would people even pay to see that? Never mind it turns out the answer is yes.

1940s: ah shit most of our animators got drafted and/or hate us now cause we weren’t paying them. IT’S PROPAGANDA TIME BABY. Also haha hitler got hit with a mallet and also the most racist depictions of Japanese people ever.

1950s to 1960s : oh what’s this newfangled thing? Television? What if you could air cartoons on it? Oh fuck no I ain’t paying that much to get the charecters to have different backgrounds and for the charecters to like, move fluidly. Also manga and anime are steadily growing more popular.

1970s: (Ralph Bakshi walks into a comics store and finds a furry comic) X rated animated movie? *cue the screams of mothers and their unsuspecting children now being introduced to the revolutionary idea that cartoons don’t equal kids stuff? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

1980s to 1990s: we can have full on animated Broadway musicals? Wait, what do you mean animated movies can count for the Oscar’s? What do you mean now they get their own catagory because the academy still thinks their for babies? Anime and manga are taking off in the west. SWEET JESUS WHAT DRUGS ARE THE JAPANESE ON SHOWING THIS SHIT TO KIDS. But also why is it so fucking good. Maybe some of these aren’t even meant for kids? Wait We can sell toys to kids with cartoons? Wait we can actually put effort into these cartoons on television? The fuck to you mean we can animate in 3D now? What do you mean we can have well animated, well written sitcom shows like the simpsons? What do you mean you can make cartoon charecters say fuck? What drugs are creators at Nickelodeon on? Do I even want to know?

2000s: oh my god, there is this one show that I really like cause it’s really well written and genuinely funny but I can’t talk about it because it’s animated and we all know cartoons are for babies right? Oh look it’s the transformers movie, look how far CGI has evolved so we can make the transformers in a movie.

2010s: holy shit I know these shows are for kids but they’re just well written and have so much meaningful things to say about the world. Wait, it’s cool to like cartoons now? They they have fandoms for this? Fuck yeah I’m in. (Enters one of the most notoriously toxic fandoms of all time) THEY HAVE GAY PEOPLE IN THESE SHOWS NOW? AND COMPLEX EMOTIONAL STORYTELLING? AND ADULT ANIMATED SHOWS CAN BE MORE THAN JUST SITCOMS WITH THE SAME JOKES AND STYLE? WHY IS IT THAT EVERY DISNEY CARTOON SINCE GRAVITY FALLS INCLUDE THINGS THAT GET MORE AND MORE FUCKED UP? WHY DO I FUCKING LOVE IT? WHY THE FUCK DID DISNEY DO THE OWL HOUSE DIRTY LIKE THAT?

2020s: I got this show I wanna pitch but it dosen’t fit into any box that the networks want and also I’m afraid that they’ll just randomly cancel it before I can finish the story I want to tell. Wait, I can just post the pilot on my YouTube channel, see if anybody actually likes this thing I made and just make the show independently? FUCK THE NETWORK! I AM THE NETWORK

The Golden Age of Animated Robot Film Classics is upon us

Anyone who collects physical media is aware of disc rot, but recently news broke that Region 1 Warner Bros. media from 2006-08 is particularly susceptible. Because Warner Bros. handle BBC Video releases in the US (or handled at the time, I forget if they still do), that leaves a lot of Doctor Who DVDs that may potentially be affected.

To help my fellow Whovian DVD collectors, I've compiled a complete list of Region 1 releases that may be affected. If you own any of these DVDs from 2006-08, you may want to check them for disc rot.

I'd also recommend checking any other Region 1 BBC or Warner Bros. DVDs you may have that were released during these years, as well as any earlier releases that you suspect might be a reprint or reissue from this time.

Full of list affected Doctor Who / Torchwood / The Sarah Jane Adventures US DVD releases is below the fold.

This publicity photo for “Carrotblanca” 1995, directed by Doug McCarthy, was taken from the film’s introduction of Bugs Bunny as he channels film legend, Humphrey Bogart. This was one of the shots I animated for the short, which brought me to Los Angeles.

I recently came across the Batman 85th Anniversary character skins for the now-defunct Multiversus game and I honestly felt disappointed by them. I mean no disrespect towards the underpaid and overworked design team, but a lot of these designs (specifically the Powerpuff Girls, Jake the Dog, Finn the Human, the Iron Giant, Agent Smith, Arya Stark, Reindog and the Banana Guard) just looked like shoddily made fanmods for the game. The first characters I chose to redesign were the PPG and the Iron Giant, since it took little effort on my part to decide what parts of the Batman mythology their redesigns should be based on (I'm keeping my Iron Giant under wraps for now). As a redhead, I knew that Blossom would fit in the role of the Silver Age version of Barbara Gordon (who people incorrectly assume is the original Batgirl) like a glove. Since Bubbles is played by Tara Strong, a controversial voice actress that spent decades playing Barbra Gordon in various adaptations, it made sense to base her redesign on the 2019 DC Superhero Girls (which also helps avoiding a monotonous colour scheme). Buttercup, described as "the strongest fighter" in the closing credits song, is based on the Cassandra Cain version of Batgirl, often considered to be on the best hand-to-hand fighters in the DCU.
