its sad that 2D never will get populare again.. it will always have a place in my heart and im gonna evolve from drawing to animating, keep it ging for the rest of my life, home or at work, i will pass it on so that ppl in the future can see how magical they are.
This was such a nice little documentary. I learned a lot that I didn't know from it, and despite being a very modest documentary, I was not bored or put off by a single bit of it. I really love this. Thanks so much for posting it. Magnificent. BTW you sound almost just like Vincent D'onofrio
What about Don Bluth? He with some success tried to save the golden age of animation in the late 70's 80's and 90's with his films The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The land Before Time and others, which where all done in the classic animation tradition!
Love the nonstop slapstick violence. Tom and Jerry and Road Runner are the best shows to me. Wile E is so fucking funny with the slap and the stick. Tom and Jerry is just so fucking refined and well done though. And Tom is the best character aesthetically to me.
The golden age of animation actually ended in the late 50s thanks to studios like Hanna Barbara and animated tv shows like the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. The 1970s was in the middle of an era called the early tv animation era(or the dark age of animation as some people would call it). In the 70s you got animated movies like Robin Hood and the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh and tv shows like Casper and the angels and Fat Albert and the Cosby kids. The early tv animation era started in 1957 and ended in 1988.
@leoagate it is sad to think that animation has stopped evolving, and that the best we know was invented almost 70 years ago. Imagine what we could have achieved in all those years in hand drawn animation.
1940s-1960s popular animation Studios like upa, mgm antiation and Hanna-Barbera 2000-today popular animation Studios like Pixar, dreamworks, blue sky and illumination
I wonder why all those great 2D-animations have dissapeared. The best 2D animations of today come from people who work very hard, not for profit, but just for the beauty of the animation itself or something (like Adam Phillips, greatest flash animator in the world :p) and eventually work freelance. It looks like all the attention has gone to 3D, allthough 3D is nice, I think that's a pitty. I hope there will always remain great 2D animations like this, at least for the time I'm still here :p.
This was an awesome vid. I really think kids will be so atracted to stupidity by animation taht then well just see on tv such progams (sometimes good, but not so many) as billy and mandy or cyborg 009.I dont know why animation is going down instead of raising. The answer is videogames!!!
Sadly, I doubt 2d animation will ever gain the popularity it once had. I think before too long, 2D live action films will be a thing of the past. Connoisseurs will always exist. I'm almost done with a chalk animated short, if you wanna check out a couple clips from it click on my screen name, there's two videos. I'm gonna combine live action and chalk, I'll be done with the whole film in 2 weeks
@flagday84 2D animation will never go away. It's already on its way back. Give it some time and you'll see. 2D animation will always be superior to 3D animation.
I don’t think it’s very fair to say that true animation ends in the 1970 as many are saying. Animation has always had its ups and downs with some decades being more successful then others. Animation is still living and breathing, responding to culture and movements in every part of the world. Just look at animation from the 1990’s and today and you’ll see that there are plenty of gems that even take influence from the classics. To say that animation is dead is a sign of ignorance.
This video is very interesting, but limited to "History of - American - Animation". Where are Michael Dudok de Wit, Jiri Trnka, Joanna Quinn, Ladislas Starevich, Norman McLaren and National Film Board of Canada, Japanese anime...? Anyway, the rest of the world?
As American animation quality declined, Japanese animation was moving the artform forward with increasingly innovative and cinematic tv animation. While we were churning out shlock like Jabberjaw, they were creating hugely influencial masterpieces such as Space Battleship Yamato.
So sad that animation went so downhill when TV became more popular. No one cared anymore. Companies (especially HB) in the late 60s-mid 80s just made rip-offs of SD and cartoon version of sitcoms with lifeless and stiff limited animation. As long as it made them money and kept kids quiet, it didn't matter. Cartoons/animation was (and still is sorta) seen as "kids stuff". It's an insult.
As far as their sitcoms go, their actually not bad at all. You got stuff like the Flintstones, the Jetsons and Top Cat. I would agree with you on the Scooby Doo rip offs though since they got random teens teaming up with a phantom, a shark or a car for example. Hanna Barbara has a lot of creative moments though since they have done cartoons that are funny and/or action packed.
isnt animation more popular than ever-?grand theft audio,saints row two,mass effect,thats all animation,but more complex,and you can move and control it...
To whomever removed their response to my comment: The Tom and Jerry of the 70s is a prime example of how bad American TV animation had gotten. Every shot was flat, left to right movement. They didn't even chase each other and try to murder each other anymore! Disney had some good movies in the 90s, but their musical formula and inability to do serious stories, like Hunchback and Pocahontas, without throwing in farting sidekicks to entertain the toddlers eventually turned off audiences.
@flagday84 I disagree. I think there's a perfect chance of 2D regaining it's glory. You'll know as well as I that any animation medium can be popular and catch the public's attention as long as it's done well enough. What people don't want to see at the end of the day is a bad movie. Sorry, i do realize you wrote that comment 3 years ago lol
I like the old stuff better then the crap today. All the a stuff today has anoying charecters, pepetive plots, and bad whiting. Ecseped gravity falls. That's the only one I like.
Dude, you forgot a ton of things. What about Pixar or Dreamworks or any of the films made during the Renaissance? If your going to make an animation retrospective, then why exclude the more influential animated films? I don't mean to be intrusive, i'm just disappointed that this video was lacking in that aspect.
I'm writting a report on animation, and this list of videos was very helpfull. Thank you.
Majin Buu well. you're fucked.
the first TV cartoon wasn't the Flintstones, it was Crusader Rabbit

yeah, it's only about usa animation and animators, but this documentery is still good. thanks!

they have personality and have a story that make you think. TRUE

@roxonogueira I agree with you, its history of american animation, but still, great job! congratulations, great work!

IT DOESN'T STOP THERE!

well done, mate :) Cheers!
Gee, it ends on such a sour note and omits the renaissance of the 1980s and 90s.
Porky Pig saying stuff like "son of a bitch." You won't be seeing that on Cartoon Network anytime soon lol

The Iron giant was the last good 2D Animated Film
Why was popeye never mentioned

+youness bejrhit Yup - this covered a LOT of ground very concisely. Love it.
