Being the short-attenion-span "ooh shiny" person that I was, I watched the video without reading any of the description that accompanied it and thought "My god, whoever worked on this understands storytelling and gags! This is just like a golden age cartoon!" and maybe something about saving 2D animation.<br><br>I guess having a highly trained artist FROM the golden age will yield such results. The question now is where I can find one to pester and to suck dry of knowledge...<br><br>But really, I don't think I've ever been that caught off guard by a cartoon- ever - especially by a fairy tale.<br><br>thanks for the links to the videos, by the way. The quality's actually about as good as I get it on my VHS (which I have rigged to my computer, so it only plays that default 640 by 480 with an annoying layman's smpte code that I can't get rid of). I actually used to have endurance races with my brothers to see who could sit through the first half hour of Raggedy Ann and Andy. When I tried to watch it after rediscovering the VHS in my house, I think I lasted all of 10 minutes.<br><br>They did play some clips at Richard William's MoMa retrospective (some of his newer commercial work is great), but I spent more time watching him than the screen (front row seats, and yeah, I feel creepy admitting it). Judging from his reactions, the only parts he really enjoyed were any of the Baby Herman segments on Who Framed Roger Rabbit; the rest of the clips he watched with that critical eye, probably spotting all the errors that no one else would ever notice (I've done this before too). That or he was tired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720812734603538570.post-66789342492624488162008-10-01T15:54:00.000-07:002008-10-01T15:54:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing all these gems!
