This cartoon is widely regarded as Chuck Jones’ greatest masterpiece, and many film critics, animation fans, and filmmakers consider this to be the greatest of all the cartoons Warner Bros. released. It has topped many Top Ten lists of the greatest animated cartoons of all time. It was rated by a panel of over 1000 animators in Jerry Beck's 1994 book The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals as the #1 greatest cartoon of all time.<br />
In 1992, it became the first cartoon short to be deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and thus was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Duck Amuck and One Froggy Evening were also later inducted into the registry, making Chuck Jones the only animator with three shorts thus recognized. It is currently the only Bugs Bunny short listed in the National Film Registry.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-2534572935399294022011-10-02T01:10:00.000+02:002011-10-02T01:10:19.074+02:00DUCK AMUCK- Chuck Jones<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cH6i2Z6mTRE" width="420"></iframe><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">According to director Chuck Jones, this film demonstrated for the first time that animation can create <i>characters</i> with a recognizable personality, independent of their appearan<span id="goog_440050559"></span>ce,<span id="goog_440050560"></span> or voice. Although in the end, the animator is revealed to be Daffy's rival Bugs Bunny (who famously declares "Ain't I a stinker?"), according to Jones the ending is just for comedic value: Jones (the director) is speaking to the audience directly, asking "Who is Daffy Duck anyway? Would you recognize him if I did<i>this</i> to him? What if he didn't live in the woods? Didn't live anywhere? What if he had no voice? No face? What if he wasn't even a duck anymore?" In all cases, it is obvious that Daffy is still Daffy; not all cartoon characters can claim such distinctive personality.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">In 1999 the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. This was the second of three animated shorts by Jones to receive this honor (the others are 1957's <i>What's Opera, Doc?</i> and 1955's <i>One Froggy Evening</i>). Jones has the distinction of being the only director (as of 2006) with three animated shorts in the registry.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-86668109838442885502011-09-25T18:17:00.000+02:002011-09-25T18:17:56.276+02:00THE CLEVER DUCKLINGS- Yu Zhenguang<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/awRqmy9yQws" width="420"></iframe><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The Clever Duckling is a Chinese animated short, originally released in 1960, and directed by Yu Zhenguang. This film was the first experiment in folded paper animation at Shanghai Animation Film Studio, and as far as I know, only three other films (A Cabbage, 1962, Singing and Dancing on the Lake, 1964, and The Little Duck, 1980) were ever made in this style. Developing the new method of animating folded paper figures was one of the experiments spurred by the Great Leap Forward campaign in China, during which all aspects of society were expected to make new innovations. Other innovative animation styles developed during this period include paper cut animation and watercolor painting animation, which became much more popular than this style.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-89273654108708852702011-09-25T18:02:00.001+02:002011-09-25T18:04:13.394+02:00WHERE IS MAMA?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Where is Mama(小蝌蚪找妈妈), is a short Chinese animated film produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio in 1960 under the artistic guidance of Te Wei. The narrated film describes the adventures and misadventures of a group of tadpoles in search of their mother. It is one of Te Wei's first attempts to break away from Western style animation and aim for a painterly style influenced by Qi Baishi and more in keeping with native Chinese aesthetic sensibilities. Because of its simple story line and repetitive script it is ideal for children who are beginning their study of the Chinese language.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-85556512286870636882011-09-09T04:45:00.000+02:002011-09-09T04:45:50.223+02:00Praxinoscope by Reynaud<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrqrfGTQe9pZXjYvoLxf3kcofud4A4DtHgbQi4cpwkQsbCVaoHkK8w6HwaFG3vqzIqkOLzoLN13DxgknA5hYcj5G6rGj9p-ejvUN5rWwZ4dmf_kQSbH3PW-QWasXkuSynU02TD42CN1jC/s1600/reynaud.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrqrfGTQe9pZXjYvoLxf3kcofud4A4DtHgbQi4cpwkQsbCVaoHkK8w6HwaFG3vqzIqkOLzoLN13DxgknA5hYcj5G6rGj9p-ejvUN5rWwZ4dmf_kQSbH3PW-QWasXkuSynU02TD42CN1jC/s400/reynaud.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl-yph-Uqo2GlvLGeFxcOJ_dHrGzA1_DuJF3hFFMBngQoMyg3twtnBTx63mJgkXV_WFNJ7E9S4hyphenhyphenMkpVjTTc6rJlnZHR7sI2-Ydzi1RQeM7gAWLCha_5AkIEGmaauTujpTT6llHJsaLP0Y/s1600/praxinoscope.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl-yph-Uqo2GlvLGeFxcOJ_dHrGzA1_DuJF3hFFMBngQoMyg3twtnBTx63mJgkXV_WFNJ7E9S4hyphenhyphenMkpVjTTc6rJlnZHR7sI2-Ydzi1RQeM7gAWLCha_5AkIEGmaauTujpTT6llHJsaLP0Y/s400/praxinoscope.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/426mqlB-kAY" width="420"></iframe><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Pauvre Pierrot (aka Poor Pete) is an 1892 French short animated film directed by Émile Reynaud. It consists of 500 individually painted images and lasts about 15 minutes. [1]<br />
<br />
It is one of the first animated films ever made, and alongside Le Clown et ses chiens and Un bon bock was broadcast in October 1892 when Emile Reynaud opened his Théâtre Optique at the Musée Grévin. It was the first film to demonstrate the Theatre Optique system developed by Reynaud in 1888, and is also believed to be the first usage of film perforations. The combined performance of all three films was known as Pantomimes Lumineuses.<br />
<br />
These were the first animated pictures publicly broadcast by means of picture bands. Reynaud gave the whole presentation himself manipulating the images.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-17132907544471597742011-09-09T03:42:00.000+02:002011-09-09T03:42:58.075+02:00ORIGINS- The thaumatrope<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Es_gWS26Wnhbnmo2mm-B4bVjSsNkHJq2qA44fbkVyvt69fSJM1Z4FA570bPQk5b7RjP0Un8M5dUYgAXyKNx0ddStUX6-JtLFIvOwl75K8BBHljrVFfhbd8xixsoLf6CJVvHs4oE5v13q/s1600/Taumatropio_fiori_e_vaso%252C_1825.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Es_gWS26Wnhbnmo2mm-B4bVjSsNkHJq2qA44fbkVyvt69fSJM1Z4FA570bPQk5b7RjP0Un8M5dUYgAXyKNx0ddStUX6-JtLFIvOwl75K8BBHljrVFfhbd8xixsoLf6CJVvHs4oE5v13q/s1600/Taumatropio_fiori_e_vaso%252C_1825.gif" /></a></div>In 1825, a famous English physician, John A. Paris, created the prototype of optical toys. the thaumatrope: a disc with a complementary image on each side, and strings attached at each end of its horizontal axes. When the disk is spun on the strings, the two complementary images appear to merge.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-28029397843342791372011-09-05T03:26:00.004+02:002011-09-05T03:31:25.819+02:00The Origins of Popeye<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Popeye first appeared in the comic Thimble Theatre in 1929 and was created by Elizie Crisler Segar; the popularity of the character meant that he'd eventually get his own series of theatrical cartoon shorts, which in turn led to a live action film starring Robin Williams in the 1980.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This animation is about Original Fairy Tales.<br />
Further more, it's talking about people's dark side.<br />
<br />
I believe the theory that human nature is fundamentally evil.<br />
Children always act based on their instinct for everythings.<br />
<br />
So children can catch dark and chaotic side from the fairy tales easily even though it's already revised.<br />
<br />
Also, fairy tales're created by Adults who grown up from children.<br />
although adults want to write down something beautiful and pretty for children, they might can add some weired or disorded parts unconsciously.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641791022387633516.post-39098545618992423042010-11-15T04:07:00.001+01:002012-07-03T01:04:28.289+02:00BOTTLE- Kirsten Lepore<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><iframe frameborder="0" height="300" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/12155835" width="400"></iframe><br />

Creators of the <i>Wallace & Gromit</i> series used a 50x cell phone microscope to film this short—which also happens to be the world's smallest. It revolves around Dot, a girl who happens to be only .35 inches tall!<br />
<blockquote>Animators at the UK studio Aardman used a 3D printer to make 50 different versions of Dot, because she is too small to manipulate or bend like they would other stop-motion animation characters. The figurine's tiny features stretched the limit of the printer - any smaller and it would be hard to make distinct limbs. Each one was hand-painted by artists looking through a microscope.<br />
Directors Ed Patterson and Will Studd attached a CellScope to a Nokia N8 12-megapixel camera to film Dot's struggle in her microscopic world. They said Nokia commissioned them to make the film in celebration of CellScope's potential to improve medicine in the developing world.</blockquote>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856135842711034213noreply@blogger.com0
