Description
This course will cover the advent of animation as a crowd-pleasing entertainment medium before moving on to some of the all-time greats of the field. Each session will run for two hours, and will be lecture-based with clips and cartoons throughout. The first session will cover the precarious and vibrant trial-and-error-laden era of animation at the dawn of cinema itself. The second session will spotlight Walt Disney and the history of Disney Studios. The third will cover Max Fleischer Studios (Popeye, Betty Boop, Superman), and the forth will cover Warner Bros. Animation (Looney Tunes).
