Chuck Jones.
Today we watched to animations produced by Warner Bros. Studio.
These were the Case of the Missing Hare and the Aristo-Cat which were both made in 1943
and directed by Chuck Jones. During his early career, Chuck Jones tried to imitate the style of
Disney's short animated films but after 1942 Chuck broke away from traditional animation with the release of his film The Dover Boys. The style used is now known as limited or stylized animation which reuses common parts of between frames to lower production cost while still having a similar effect to traditional animation.
Another thing that seperated Chuck's characters from traditonally animated ones was that his cartoons were less realistic and soley developed for humor.
In pixar's animated film Monsters Inc they paid tribute to the 1952 film called Feed the Kitty, which is one of Frank's Favourites.

Fun Library Task
Franky Frank our teacher of the teachings of animation told to go on a magical expedition to the place known to many as the lirbary. We were required to go search its vast storage facilities of wonder for holy scirptures. The first part of our journey was to find books written by a strange man called Shaun Tan. They were located by using the computer's they called The Arrival and The Bird King.
We also found:
Journals for animators called the Animators Magazine.
Librarians; who can help you with information on copyright laws. There's also some information on copyright laws in teacher resources, I think..
The book written by Disney's Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston is called "The Illusion of Life".
The resource Frank brought back is a DVD called " Paris Chambre de Commerce"
Some miyazaki films that are available from the library are; The Castle of Cagliostro, Howl's Moving Castle, Laputa Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Nausica Valley of the Wind.
The library is fun and helpful for my studies.
