Walt Disney & Animation
|
|
|
The word Animation has some magnetic power. Starting from a child of hardly three years to a mature man - all fall in love with the mesmerizing effect of animation. Animation is nothing but the display of a 3-D or 2-D images on the screen and that too done in a serial order. It had been said that the invention of animation film is a much earlier invention than the feature films. People always love to get entertainment in any way and in any form.From the Victorian Age the experiments were carried on the animation. In those times these were the most popular form of entertainment. Belgian Joseph Plateau, William George Horner, Reynaud tried to make out different method to provide entertainment to the common masses. J. Stuart Black ton presented the first film based on animation--Humorous Phases of Funny Faces 1906. Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906 got huge success in New York.Different types of cartoon character born in the hands of their creator. They had born many years back. But still they retain their popularity. Who can forget the characters like Mickey Mouse. A small mouse but very intelligent. A very good boyfriend of Minnie Mouse and a good master of Pluto. The maker of these popular characters is Walt Disney. A man who took the world into storm. His company Walt Disney Corporation produces a large number of animated films. The animated films of Disney have the power and full control over the audiences of a large range. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Pluto are very much well known and popular characters all over the world. Mickey Mouse was first introduced with us in the Steamboat Willie (1928). And it is the first animated cartoon with sound. Disney gave his voice for Mickey.

Mickey Mouse was first introduced with us in the Steamboat Willie (1928). And it is the first animated cartoon with sound.
Actually, Mickey Mouse was introduced to us in the cartoon Plane Crazy (1928). Also, the Fleischers had actually produced the first cartoon with sound a few years before. The innovation of Steamboat Willie was that it was the first cartoon with synchronized sound which looked like pure magic to the movie-going public of the time.
The rest of that is pretty accurate, although you left out the many contributions of the Fleischers, Windsor McKay, and Otto Messmer.

Well, to be fair, Plane Crazy was only screened as a test screening in May of 1928, hardly more than a couple showings, due to lack of a distributor. Gallopin' Gouchos was not screened at all; so the first actual "official" (meaning distributed normally) Mickey short was indeed Steamboat Willie. I guess it's up to each person individually to decide if a couple of test screenings one week in NYC count as a character's debut- it seems most animation historians, as well as the Disney Co. itself, cite Steamboat Willie as the debut due to it actually being distributed.

Also, 'Steamboat Willie' is NOT the first cartoon with sound. Max Fleischer had released the very first cartoon with sound in, I believe, 1924; using a process developed by Lee DeForest.

I'm pretty sure what the OP meant was synchronized sound... not just incidental sound. The short you alluded to was Fleischer's My Old Kentucky Home, from 1926. It was actually the first to showcase synchronized sound, but very few people who aren't animation buffs (like the majority on this board) would know that. Heck, I'd be willing to bet that the general public doesn't even know who the Fleischers WERE. Outside of maybe knowing that Betty Boop and Popeye weren't Disney, I'm betting they couldn't identify who it actually WAS.

I believe that children, and I include those chilren at heart, have always been attracted to fanciful stories and characters. Before film, there was books. I'm sure your grandparents grew up reading tales like the ones we now watched. Disney knew this and is why most of ths features are fairy tales that have been passed down throughout the ages.
I dosen't matter what the form; pages, comic books, like motion pictures, television, 2D or 3D animation; what it boils down to is great plot and characters.

The Animation studio is noted for creating a number of now-standard innovations in the animation industry, including:
The multiplane camera (for Snow White, but first used in the Academy-award winning short "The Old Mill")
The realistic animation of special effects and human characters (for Snow White)
really its so imagine. i really like this also

Actually, Disney's multiplane camera was unique to his studio only. It was never widely adapted throughout the industry (because, for one thing, it wasn't very cost effective); although some studios like Ub Iwerks' used a cheaper imitation (reportedly he built one that operated on a horizontal level and was built from old automobile parts.)
Max Fleischer, of course, came up with his own method for achieving 3-D effects in some of his cartoons; namely a large turntable that rotated 360 degrees and upon which miniature "sets" could be constructed. These sets, when photographed in tandem with a vertical animation cel set-up gave the illusion of depth.
