A quote I enjoyed from “Seeing the Brick and Cameraless Animation” was:
“In which Disney ‘shows kids cutting school, shoplifting and playing hooky, hoboes free from having to work, prisoners escaping prison, or simply Alice running away to have adventures.”
This statement caught my attention because Disney is challenging what seems like the censorship of cartoons that are meant to be fictional and have non human lives. Disney may have brought new challenges to the animation world by personifying the art of animation to the next level, by transforming the cartoons intentions and desires to represent human life. Like most technology animation was undergo an evolution of differences and similarities based on who is in charge and that whats was going on with animation during the start of Disney.
Disney was being innovated with the resources they had and expressing a message that was new through the animation medium. They wanted to stress social issues while still remaining entertaining and different. I enjoy how Disney involves controversial topics in their movies because they often find a good way of hiding it or creating an illusion of what the animations actions truly symbolize.
In the introduction of “Seeing the Brick and Cameraless Animation,” the author mentions that a form of animation were flip books that by turning the page they revealed a moving image. Usually they were a form of pornography, so that is a form of realism in an animated way. I don’t find the flip book less unrealistic than Disney movies.
