Animation has been a staple of the filmmaking process since the early days of cinema. Animated shorts had been produced for decades, but not until 1937 did a major studio venture into animated features when Walt Disney produced Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Of the hundreds of animated feature films made since, many have proven their importance over the years while also entertaining generations of audiences. There are also many recent animated movies that promise to become classics in the field. In 100 Greatest American British Animated Films, Thomas S, Hischak looks at the most innovative, influential, and entertaining features that have been produced since the late 1930s—from traditional hand-drawn works and stop-motion films to computer-generated wonders. These movies have been selected not simply because of their popularity or critical acceptance but for their importance. Entries in this volume contain plot information production history critical reaction commentary on the film’s cinematic quality a discussion of the film’s influence voice casts production credits songs sequels, spin-offs, Broadway versions, and television adaptations awards and nominations Each movie is also discussed in the context of its original release as well as the ways in which the film has lived on in the years since. Familiar favorites and lesser-known gems are included, making the book a fascinating journey for both the avid animation fan and the everyday moviegoer. With a sweeping look at more than eight decades of movies, 100 Greatest American and British Animated Films highlights some of the most treasured features of all time.

In Hollywood Cartoons, Michael Barrier takes us on a glorious guided tour of American animation in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, to meet the legendary artists and entrepreneurs who created Bugs Bunny, Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse, Wile E. Coyote, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, and many other cartoon favorites. Beginning with black-and-white silent cartoons, Barrier offers an insightful account, taking us inside early New York studios and such Hollywood giants as Disney, Warner Bros., and MGM. Barrier excels at illuminating the creative side of animation--revealing how stories are put together, how animators develop a character, how technical innovations enhance the "realism" of cartoons. Here too are colorful portraits of the giants of the field, from Walt and Roy Disney and their animators, to Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera. Based on hundreds of interviews with veteran animators, Hollywood Cartoons gives us the definitive inside look at this colorful era and at the creative process behind these marvelous cartoons.

The golden age of animation stretched from the early 1930s to the mid-1950s, with movie cartoons reaching an extraordinarily high level of artistry and technique--far higher than today's TV cartoons, for instance. Nearly 1000 cartoons were produced by the seven major animation studios in the U.S. between January 1, 1939, and September 30, 1945--the immediate pre-World War II period up to the cessation of hostilities. More than a quarter of the cartoons substantially refer to the war, and thereby are invaluable in helping to understand American attitudes and Hollywood's reflection of them. The meat of Doing Their Bit is a filmography with extremely detailed summaries of the 260 or so commercially produced, animated, war-related shorts, 1939-1945. There is also a good bit of overall commentary on these films as a group. Two chapters wrap up animated cartoons of World War I and the general political tenor of animated talkies of the 1930s. This edition also includes a new chapter on the outrageous government-sponsored Pvt Snafus.

"People's impressions of "developing" countries have been shaped to a great extent by fictional narratives such as novels, plays, films, etc. Among all these form, American animated films can have a special influence on a global scale. For billions of children who are forming their perception of the world, as well as adults who do not have the chance to travel, American animated films that are set in so-called "developing countries" serve as an avenue of knowledge to the outside world. Despite their global impact, American animated films, especially those that are set in "developing" countries, have not received much academic attention, because they are often deemed as merely entertaining and childish. This thesis analyzes three recent representative American animated films that are set in developing countries on three different continents: Kung Fu Panda (ancient China), Rio (Brazil), and Madagascar (Madagascar), and discovers the problematic animated representations of "developing" countries and their audience reception around the world. Analyzing these films as texts, this thesis first explores four aspects of cinematic representations of "developing" countries: the dichotomy of living conditions, the portrayal of social phenomena, the construction of indigenous cultures, and the contradiction between celebrating diverse cultures and promoting Americanization. Delving into contextual aspects of the selected films, this thesis also analyzes how audiences from different cultures receive, revise, and even reject the film texts. With analysis on both the cinematic and the social aspects of the selected films, this thesis gives a well-rounded picture of the questionable representations of "developing countries" in animation: on the one hand, it can be an opportunity for a certain country to move from the periphery to the spotlight; on the other hand, the westernized representations of non-American countries are also exploited as a reservoir of exotic cultural stereotypes for capitalist purposes. This thesis will hopefully contribute an important insight into film studies, cultural studies, and globalization studies."

An Anthology of Animation. When you think about animated cartoons, you may think "Walt Disney" and call it a day. But if animation is a day, then Walt takes up just a few hours in the late morning. A lot came before, a lot came after.
