The animations that I will be reviewing is Rejected, Op Hop – Hop Op, Steam Boat Willie, and George Washington.
I have watched the animation for Rejected before and someone said that it was very similar to something produced by adsfmovies and Cyanide and Happiness. The animations were very random, ridiculous, and sometimes unhinged. I believe these types of animations can create a great horror element or just a comedy.
Op Hop – Hop Op really reminds me of a audio visualizer you will see on youtube. The pictures might sync up with the audio, making the “animation” looks like it is playing the sound. It is also like the audio visualizer you might see when editing sound in a DAW software.
Steam Boat Willie is considered a classic, but I have never seen the entire thing before. I think for its time, it is really impressive not because of the sound, but how smooth the animations might feel. I do kind of wish Disney went back to 2D animations since you can exaggerate movements that is not possible or may look odd in 3D animations.
George Washington is more like a slideshow animation and kind of reminds me of comic book stories if it was a video. I do like how exaggerated the characters are portrayed. The video do prove that you can exaggerate 2D animation so much to the point that it still works and also sometimes make sense if you understand the context. The characters also reminds me of something like Rick and Morty and Regular Show if it was made by one person if they had little knowledge in body proportions and art.
