Well, I've always wanted to become a great animator, however I now feel it may be too late. Most people who do that usually start when they are young. We need new cartoons. Anime and this Pixar type stuff is taking over, and frankly, I am sick of it! I want to go back to the 1940s when animation was better. I don't know if this is because the computers being used now still makes grainy motion or what, but I do miss the days of 2D animation and funny storylines. Well, you can't really have funny storylines now because of PC culture. That's why I admire what Dave Chappelle did. He made tranny jokes in his show on Netflix, and now the SJWs are screaming mimi because he did not give into their demands. If Netflix bans his show because of that, I am through with Netflix! We need more comedy like that. Shoot! I even laugh at fat jokes! I always did! Otherwise I wouldn't have become a fan of Married With Children. They made all kinds of fat jokes on there. I don't care!! They're funny!
Well, I would love to become a great animator. We need the greats to come out, and say fuck this new PC culture. This is why I cannot stand Obama! I hate his guts!!! I'm glad he got clobbered in my story! He deserves it! He was the one who taught people to hate each other. He brought racism back again. He told black people that white people are "inherently racist". So not true! Well, no more true than it is that black people are also inherently racist. But you think Obama was ever going to bring that up? No way! He wanted to make only white people look bad. All I know for sure is that before Obama, almost all racism was extinct. No one talked about it. People got along with each other. There was no segregating the parties. There were no riots in the street. Those that were rioting quickly died down. But such organizations as Antifa have continued the violence. Probably because they continue to feel the butthurt.
Anyways! Back to the subject! I've got my favorites among the classic cartoonists. In my personal opinion, I think Tex Avery was the best one of all! His cartoons were always well-made, and funny! The characters actually had character, the scenery was well-made in each cartoon, the characters had expressions that were unique to each one. But best of all, the storylines were actually funny. We need more animating directors like him. We don't have that today. Which is a dirty shame! That's why with UMG Productions, I hope to revive good, original storylines like that. You sure won't find that with Disney nowadays. Well I heard the LGBTQ people want to make Elsa of the movie Frozen, a lesbian. They've been lobbying for it. But Disney won't do it. I heard it's because they want to sell their movies to China, and China does not want gay people in their movies. It's actually illegal there. That's actually kinda sad, because if Disney wants to make Elsa gay, then that's fine. I never saw Frozen anyways. Never cared for it. But at the same time, I can understand the alphabet people wanting someone in movies they can relate to. But to Disney, money is more important than the alphabet community getting their way. Maybe make a short-feature cartoon where Elsa is gay and show it only in the USA?
Now, I will probably catch hell for this from the cartoon enthusiasts, but in my opinion, the worst animator of all time is Chuck Jones. Before I go on, he did do some good work on a few cartoons in the old days. But they were only a few. About half of his work I always found to be rather boring. Particularly when he took over the Tom and Jerry franchise. His characters always had the same expressions, big eyes, sometimes even giving them gay eyes. But his expressions were always a little too exaggerated, if you notice that in his cartoons. Also, the scenery in cartoons he directed were always very flimsy, almost as if they were done by a 10-year old. If you look at the backgrounds of other animators at the time, it looked beautiful! There were shadows and lighting in their proper places and intensity. For example, a scene from The Wild Hare, directed by Tex Avery...
Look at the background. It's detailed to the hilt! It looks like it could be an oil painting. It has all the colors and images you'd really see in the woods. In contrast, look at this forest scene from My Favorite Duck, directed by Chuck Jones...
The background is not as detailed, and looks like it was hastily done by a 10 year old. That's rather typical of Chuck Jones' cartoons. Even his more recent work like with Rikki Tiki Tavi, the scenery in the background looks rather crude, even though it does look like more effort was put into it...
Although I don't like how he portrays the mongoose it's self, like a rodent. Mongooses are not rodents. Just because an animal is smaller than a human, does not mean they are rodents. Mongooses are actually more closely related to cats. But the difference in scenery is the visual outlining, with black lines. Although it works well with ink and pen sketches, the scenery in cartoons should be less like a cut out from a coloring book, and more like we'd actually see in real life. That's what I like about the animation from the 1940s. Even Disney was careful about his backgrounds, like in this still for Bambi...
If you look, you don't see any black outlining, and there is lots of detail. Including the grooves in the log that Thumper is sitting on. You don't see that in animated backgrounds of any anime cartoon! Or in any Chuck Jones cartoon. Even though I heard the guy who did the backgrounds for Bambi was a Japanese guy. So, why don't anime artists take lessons from this guy? In the case of Chuck Jones, I call him a "lazy animator", because he is. When he took over the Tom and Jerry series in the 1960s, several of the cartoons used clips from older Tom and Jerry cartoons done by other talented artists. That, to me, is being lazy. I don't support laziness in the entertainment industry. It's their job to provide quality content. I think we should all take a lesson from the animators of the 1940s.
