I watched this one last night on a whim, and felt that it was a nice follow up to Rover Dangerfield. I won't quote the description because it's pretty long, but a good summary is "don't be a dick during leave, lest you make the locals hate ALL military personnel." This one is not as problematic as most early 20th century animation, but you may find that some bits just don't hold up well over time.

From 1956, I bring you US Air Force Training Film SFP-366, or Killjoy Was Here!:

Oh gently caress no. Maybe on Amazon, that's where I bought my copy; Most of the director's work is just amateur music video stuff and if you do get it, PLEASE watch it with the commentary after the first watch. The guy who made it is really weird but he's totally harmless, he just makes this insane religious horror poo poo for some reason; he's totally not trying to be edgy or anything.

This one was lovely - I had CHON stuck in my head all day - and thank you for introducing Faith Hubley's work to me! In fact, let's check out more of her work.

Moonbird (1959):

quote:

Moonbird is a 1959 short animated film by John Hubley and Faith Hubley in which two boys have an adventure in the middle of the night as they sneak out and try to catch a 'Moonbird' and bring it home. Voices: Mark Hubley and Ray Hubley. The film was animated by Robert Cannon and Ed Smith. This film won the 1960 Academy Award for best short subject (Cartoon). Moonbird featured the voices of the Hubley's sons, Mark and Ray ("Hampy"). For the Moonbird, the Hubleys secretly recorded the boys sharing an imaginary adventure before going to sleep in the darkness of their room. Their parents afterwards took the tapes and created an animated film to fit their sons' story.

Hope you all enjoyed a fun Saint Patrick's Day yesterday! I bring you a mixed bag this week, so let's get started.

First, let's go back to the early days of animation with (gasp!) sound. From F. Lyle Goldman and Max Fleischer, here is the 1929 educational short Finding His Voice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkc2gy3rc8A

Next, we take a more somber turn. From the description:

quote:

The Queen's Monastery (Water Colour Animation)
Conceived, animated and directed by Emma Calder. Music by Leos Janacek.
Inspired by Leoš Janáček - Sinfonietta (1926), The Queen's Monastery is about a woman whose lover, a former acrobat, has returned to her from war a changed man. Using a highly individual watercolour technique the narrative explores themes of love, escapist fantasy, obsession and guilt.
Here now is The Queen's Monastery:

And on a lighter note, something weird that has popped up in at least one other thread - from Animusic, here is Pipe Dreams:

Since spring is here and all is full of birds and bees, it felt only appropriate to dust off a naughty one.

quote:

Animation directed by Sergei Kushnerov. A wordless satyrical if not cynical view on sexuality and the battle of the sexes.
The title is derived from the 1986 Adrian Lyne soft-SM cult film 9 1/2 weeks with Mickey Rourke & Kim Basinger, in it's time a huge worldwide theatre & videol hit. Although the animation is full of sexual references, quit exceptional for Russian animation, the fun of the animation is that they are only recognizable and understandable if you know what they are about. Other then, say, Polyphemus, Acis and Galatea ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3gvH... ) or The nymph salamacis ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LmWb... ) by Anatoly Petrov, the only other Soviet/Russian animator I know. that plays around with sexuality, the content is satyrical in stead of erotic

From 1993, here is Sergei Kushnerov's very :nws: 9 1/2 Minutes

Falling under the 'weird' category is this PSA from 1951 called Cheers for Chubby - and you guessed it - this is all about overeating and dieting!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14oSJAYFMwo

It was produced by Jerry Fairbanks, but the style of this short looks similar to the style used by Famous Studios (in mid-century Popeye, Little Lulu, and Casper cartoons). Any animation buffs want to take a stab at this? :)

This sounds pretty rad. Early attempts at CGI are pretty cool to look at, considering that not too long ago, humans were baffled at how one could get cameras to capture color. Here is a good one out of Russia at roughly the same time - from Wikipedia:

quote:

A group of Soviet mathematicians and physicists headed by N. Konstantinov created a mathematically computable model of the physics of a moving cat. The algorithms were programmed on the BESM-4 computer. The computer then printed hundreds of frames to be later converted to film. An accompanying scientific paper describes the foundation of the employed physics simulation techniques that nowadays are commonly applied to animation films and computer games.
