We are Gemma, Luis and Zoe, and we're going to talk about animation from the

30's to nowadays

We have three stages to highlight:

1. The Golden Age

2. The TV Age
3. The Digital Age

The Golden Age, the most important of the other three starts with the creation
of Steamboat Willie, the first short film of Disney in 1928 and the Skeleton
Dance, the short film which the classic Silly Symphonies were born.

Many of the most iconic characters in animation were created in this age.
Characters like Goofy, Betty Boop or Bugs Bunny.

In 1937, Disney invented de multi-plane animation camera, capable of

suggesting depth of field thanks to a system of superposition of five films
filmed in the same plane to simulate remoteness. Pinocchio was the first long
film produced with this invention.
During World War II, several animated advertisements were made that
portrayed Hitler as a villain, ridiculing him. This short films helped motivate
adults to fight and provided financial aid during and after the war.

After the war, most of the Looney Tunes short films and the first series of the
Hanna-Barbera studio began to be broadcast on TV, giving way to the next
age.

The TV age gives rise to most of the classic series around the world.

In Japan we can see series like Astro Boy or Kimba, the White Lion, that
people often mistakenly think that Disney copied to make The Lion King. In
1969 began the anime Sazae-san, which still on the air today with more than
6000 episodes. In 1984, Hayao Miyazaki makes Nausicaä of the Valley of the
Wind, which brought the famous Studio Ghibli.

In Europe there are series like Asterix or The Smurfs.

In America, Warner produce more series about the Looney Tunes, and the
studio Hanna-Barbera makes a lot of the classic series of our childhood like
The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo or Tom and Jerry. And Disney makes Sleeping
Beauty in 1959 and after entering bankruptcy they made 101 Dalmatians
which saved them.
In 1982 they made Tron which become the start of a new age.

The Digital Age brought an amazing technology advance for the animated
industries.

Disney enters in his Dark Age, from 1970 to 1988. In this age they made darker
stories like The Great Mouse Detective. After that, enters in the Renaissance,
where they made her most classic films, like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin,
The Lion King, Mulan or Tarzan. From the 2000's, they made more different
stories like Lilo & Stitch, Treasure Planet or Brother Bear. And from the
2008, with the CGI animation they enter in her actual age, the Revival Era, and
here we can see movies like Tangled, Frozen or Zootopia.

With Disney, Pixar was born in 1995 with Toy Story and still making films to
nowadays like Monsters, Inc., Ratatouille, Cars or Coco.

Dreamworks makes his appearance, and become the competence of Disney

with their Shrek, How to train your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda sagas.

The anime gains a lot of popularity with Dragon Ball, One Piece, Death Note
or the films of Studio Ghibli like The Mononoke Princess or Spirited Away.

We could talk about more animation studios like Laika and her stop-motion
animation with Coraline, or the adult series of Matt Groening (The Simpsons)
or Seth McFarlane (Family Guy), but the presentation could be endless.

We wish you liked and made you feel nostalgic with our presentation.
