Informative…

[...]Here is some excellent info on the issue, but its a shame that it took a long time to find it on Google[...]…

All those guys were key to WB’s success…but my absolute favorite is Chuck Jones. The guy’s one of my heroes. Wish I could have met him.

You’re right about timing. South Park animation is quite shitty (deliberately so). But they more than make up for it with the comedic timing.

Same as Rocky and Bullwinkle. Animation was awful. But the writing is what helped the show survive. It’s been on the air for 50 years in one form of the other (you can still get it on Teletoon)

Simple storylines. Strong characters and personalities. And timing. Awesome animation timing goes a LONG way. (South Park has that too.)

@ Jaden – Thanks! Aww, too bad about the lack of sound. I guess you don’t know what the heck I’m blathering on about. But the funny faces are keeping you watching I see.

I’m overdue on a post! But I have a really cool interview in the works. Stay tuned.

I can see your video — you are full of animation! Haha…
But my computer sound is broke, so reading lips is fine in person, but not so good online. I think you say hello and mention your 2 year?

Ahh, yes. But despite being meant for adults, WB cartoons still apeal to children.

And the actual artwork/animation from both Disney and WB studios was top-notch.

So the difference HAS to lie in the storyboarding / directing.

Hey, I think this IS an interesting topic.

And (God Forbid)….actually relevant to this blog.

Off the top of my head, the main difference is that the WB cartoons weren’t made for children. So the appeal lives on to adulthood.

I shall ponder further. Good one.

Discuss the difference in animation/storyboarding styles between Disney and Warner Brothers.

Not the feature films, but the 8-minute cartoons. And why Warner Bros. has stood the test of time so much better than Disney.

I mean, if you watch a Donald Duck or MIckey Mouse cartoon from 60 years ago, it’s okay. Haha. Cute. Almost quaint. But the humor is obviously dated. .

Compare this to Bugs and Daffy. Who are still just as hilarious. Who’s cartoons are still shown on TV today.

Anyway, I think it would be an interesting topic. (But I’ll just go now, and close the door quietly behind me…)

I could totally do that, but the studio gives me this special template that I use. So I could show how I use it, but I have *no clue* how to tell you how to make one of your own! I’m not very Flash-savy.

But I could still give a little demo for sure.

Anyways, thanks again for all your good tips!

But thanks. My life is now complete.

I was considering doing a lip sync to ‘Poker Face’ though…if I get enough requests.
