The talent and treasure are spent on effects, and not on story and beauty. <br /><br />In terms of Frozen, I thought it was pretty but lacked story. The humor was a bit pandering. Basically a musical for little girls to belt out. It seems to be more about creating princess dolls and less about beauty and a story.<br /><br />I have to give props for Iwao - Total animation god!Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097441437159417314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-76705463577862685502014-01-11T17:01:41.199-08:002014-01-11T17:01:41.199-08:00You know, Andreas?

I think that there will be a place for hand-drawn animation to thrive once more, right around the cusp of the dark ages of theatrical animation and the beginning of the CG era of cartoon features, but this time, it will be in the hands of the Asians, Europeans, and a large handfull of independent-minded artists in the states; John Kricfalusi, for example, is making Cans Without Labels.<br /><br />If you want to know about it, go to Kickstarter.com and look it up.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950624345018929253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-585366660174663732014-01-11T14:35:35.340-08:002014-01-11T14:35:35.340-08:00After watching "Frozen" today, I never t...After watching "Frozen" today, I never thought things can go so bad with Disney, even after the bad CG films of the last few years. The film had no real story, confusing characters, bizarre turn of events, and the animation: to be clear, I love the new technology (In my view, "UP" was a pretty good film), but here such basic principles as "squash and stretch" we frequently missing, the eyes of the characters were like glass, no life in them. And these people were trained at Calarts or what? Character animation? Very low quality, all computer effects, the "artists" who worked on this film or they lack the knowledge, or they are lazy to work. I watched the film in 3D, but honestly: this was far from being quality 3D. It was only worth for "get a horse" Mickey short, that was fun, and that was truly 3D!<br /><br />I am so grateful to life that I have grown up in the 1990's, we truly had a wonderful experience back then as kids. Thank you Andreas Deja for always giving the maximum in your draughtsmanship, those emotions you created with pencil and paper we truly fantastic, and they will be fantastic forever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-84371330946409789342014-01-11T12:20:26.084-08:002014-01-11T12:20:26.084-08:00You can post a link to the drawing here, and I'...You can post a link to the drawing here, and I'll take a look.Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-65121689721523018432014-01-11T10:41:18.010-08:002014-01-11T10:41:18.010-08:00I have an original Briar Rose drawing.

I am not."</i><br /><br />--------<br /><br />I am not OK with it either . I agree that we must continue to aim high. These drawings inspire us (and also sometimes they intimidate us, too ! ) , but must not be viewed merely as "holy relics" of a Golden Age that can never be again. I'm so tired of hearing the affected world-weary attitude expressed by some in our industry (who are supposedly leaders) , usually couched in terms of a lament for what has passed : <i>"ah, yes it was sure wonderful what they were able to do back then, but those glorious days of hand drawn animation are gone forever. So, let's just get on with business."</i> (and yet some of the people saying stuff like that almost seem <i>glad</i> that hand drawn is supposedly gone forever. Isn't that odd ? Their lament about how sad it is that hand drawn has passed away becomes like a self-fulfilling prophecy , over time and repetition coming to be viewed as "just the way things are", and never questioned.) <br /><br />Despite the current attitudes towards hand drawn animation in mainstream Hollywood I remain optimistic about the long-term future of hand drawn animation. It won't (and can't) be just a repeat of what once was during the Hollywood studio era, but it could be something better , which builds on that legacy. How much do we want it ? Once again I must thank you , Andreas, for continuing to inspire us and remind us of what can be accomplished with this wonderful art form. I hope that 2014 is a banner year for you with production on your own film . I know you must be busy , but I appreciate you continuing to take the time to post regularly to this blog.David https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728364431363413760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-11985044464376929562014-01-10T01:47:19.660-08:002014-01-10T01:47:19.660-08:00Hi Mr. Deja we really want to contact you to exten...Hi Mr. Deja we really want to contact you to extend you an invitation to be a keynote speaker in Creativa Fest, an international animation festival that is going to be held at Mexico City; we think this is a great opportunity to share your work and for young animators to learn from such a great animator.

I think he's very underrated for his contributions to television animation...when it was still done in the USA. <br /><br />Not a criticism but a lot of the "pretty" females designed at Hanna-Barbera under him seemed to have a bit of bit of Princess Aurora's DNA in them. Particularly Scooby-Doo's Daphne. Just my opinion. <br /><br />A bit of trivia, not too long after his death Bruce Lee was supposed to have talks with Hanna-Barbera about an animation deal of some sort. If Bruce Lee had lived, I am certain Mr. Iwamoto would have been handling designs on that project.

It's as if the character is perfectly dimensional and perfect as a flat graphic at the same time. Superhero drawing. It's too bad the color styling hid all of that with self color lines. It ended up on the screen looking considerably less revolutionary than it did in pure line.Stephen Worthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047366337202801862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-66853543457771635842014-01-09T16:21:18.912-08:002014-01-09T16:21:18.912-08:00Kathy Bailey did most of my characters' clean ...Kathy Bailey did most of my characters' clean up keys.<br />And very well, too.
