The Animation Renaissance and the Epochs of Animation
13 years ago
From the Desk of Jack the Gorilla....
Just a work in progress I'm jotting down, I'll be updating and editing it until it's a full fledged time line and account.
Neolithic 1920s - 1949
I denote the Neolithic era of animation by the lack of widespread animation available to the masses, movie shorts are all that are available and the quality varies dramatically.
Notables: Fleischer Film Superman
Notable Achievement: Invention of the Rotoscope and Multi-layer Camera
Gold Standard: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Most Prevalent Style: Felix the Cat
Bronze Age 1950 - 1962
Most Prevalent Style: Rocky and Bullwinkle, Underdog, Flintstones
Silver Age 1963-1983
The Animation Renaissance 1984-1994 (The Crux of my whole argument)
Gold Standard; Aladdin, Little Mermaid
Modern Age 1995-2006
Post Modern Age 2006 -2011
Quite literally post modern because EVERYthing became so stylized to the point of looking like an e-surance commercial! Chaotix, Ben 10,
Contemporary; 2012
