2006年12月18日 · Inspired by watching *A Charlie Brown Christmas: *What on earth is Charie Brown’s hair supposed to look like in real life? I know he’s sometimes called “the bald kid,” but are we to understand that he’s actually bald, with a little tuft of hair at the back and one curly hair in the front? While we’re on the subject, what about Dagwood Bumstead’s hair? What are those, …

2002年12月16日 · I was watching some very old Betty Boop cartoons over the weekend - man, they are so hard to watch! I get seasick watching these old cartoons because the characters bob up and down continuously! This is especially true of Fleischer studio cartoons (such as Betty Boop and Popeye) from the 1930s. Why did they do it? Was it a way of marking time to synchronize …

2015年3月1日 · I know dressing cartoon characters in the same clothes makes sense–makes them easier to recognize, designing new outfits/getting approved can take time, etc. But are there any examples of shows or comic strips where characters do dress differently? The only one that comes to mind is a minor example: on Daria, after a few seasons, Quinn wore a long sleeved …

2018年8月18日 · I love cartoon voices. When I was a kid, the voices were just the characters. As I got older and was exposed to more movies, I realized a lot of voices are actually imitations of existing non-animated characters. I thought it would be fun to compile a list of characters and who inspired their voices. I tried to stay away from cartoon voices that were actually voiced by …

2005年12月18日 · The staff report on three-fingered cartoon characters asks why they often wear gloves. Many early animation characters were crude portrayals of black people, often based on the characters in blackface minstrel shows. The minstrels wore gloves, so their cartoon equivalents did too. When these racial steretypes became unacceptable, animation studios …

2009年4月18日 · “Rakem Frackem” - origin Fred Flintstone. You misspelled Yosemite Sam (Mel Blanc to be completely precise).

2016年10月30日 · The other cartoon is Nimbus Libere, a 1944 cartoon from Vicky France featuring Popeye, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Felix the Cat on a bombing raid, dropping bombs directly on the citizens (instead of military targets) while a savage anti-Semitic caricature of a radio announcer tells then that it’s all for the best. The Donald Duck ...

2008年4月16日 · Just the clean lines of the few characters and barely-suggested background scenery, no extra business, and everything happens at the tempo of the jazz theme. Just imagine an animator today trying to find a venue for something so (by cartoon-slapstick standards) slow-paced and understated. You won’t see anything like that on the Cartoon Network.

2005年4月11日 · Opus is quick to point out Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck, but the child remarks that adjunct girlfriends don’t count. This then leads to the child encouraging us to “take a look,” which introduces a large panel of famous cartoon characters- Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, Pogo, SpongeBob, Felix, and others, all male.

2002年12月17日 · A keyframer might rigidly enforce a certain number of “beats-per-minute” throughout a whole project, and that would be easy enough to fit music to-- but in most circumstances it would look stupid. What they did at Disney Studios was make a silent cartoon, and then instruct an orchestra to “accompany” the finished product.
