They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

    ASIAN ELEPHANT (Elephas maximus) NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL STUDBOOK 17 JULY 2007 – 31 August 2010 MIKE KEELE – STUDBOOK KEEPER KAREN LEWIS – CONSERVATION PROGRAM ASSISTANT KATELYN DEVER – RESEARCH ASSISTANT ________________________________________NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL STUDBOOK - ASIAN ELEPHANT ii Cover Photograph: Left to Right: Samudra (# 649) ,Sung Surin (SB#70) Photo Credit: Michael Durham – Oregon Zoo ________________________________________NORTH AMERICAN REGIONAL STUDBOOK - ASIAN ELEPHANT iii MESSAGE FROM THE STUDBOOK KEEPER As a complete studbook, information is included on Asian elephants that we were able to document as existing at one point in time in North America. This edition includes information on 725 elephants, 78 more than the last edition which was published in 2007. 13 of these animals were captive born. The remaining 65 additional elephants were added because we received historical animal records that validated their existence. Of the 725 elephants in the Studbook, 269 (53.216) are living and 145 (31.114) are currently housed in AZA facilities. The “Lost To Follow Up” section lists 9 male and 60 female elephants whose current location is unknown to us. The “Undocumented” section lists 31 male and 203 female elephants that we believe are individuals who existed in North America at one time, however, we lack any official supporting documentation to give them official studbook numbers. There is a chance that some of these elephants already have studbook numbers under different house names, it is also likely that some of the undocumented elephants are duplicates of one another. It is important that we have appropriate supporting documentation to avoid assigning more than one studbook number to the same elephant.

  • Comics and Cartoons As Channels to Transform Classroom Practices
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 COMICS AND CARTOONS AS CHANNELS TO TRANSFORM CLASSROOM PRACTICES A.KAMESWARI Research Scholar (Ph.D.) JNTU, Ananthpur. [email protected] Abstract Introduction: Comics are loved and enjoyed by all the children. Use of comics in the classroom to teach will make the teaching interesting, easy and captivating. Teaching through comics enhances the process of quick learning, recollection and memorizing. Student-participation will be amplified. Scope for pair-work and group- work will be improved. It is like mixing vegetables in a cake batter or decorating a cake with raisins. In a similar way, a teacher can use comics in a class. For higher levels, there are comic books on a specific character. Example: Chatrapati Shivaji. After reading the Amar Chitra Katha comics about Shivaji, the teacher can ask the class to analyse the situations, circumstances and actions etc. It also leads to greater exposure to words and in other sense helps in vocabulary acquisition. It also boosts their speaking competence. As all of us know, student motivation is the requirement for reading comprehension. Motivating students with small texts that interest them leads to improve reading comprehension. After this exercise and analysis, students easily read and able to analyse the text-book related topics. Many character traits can be discussed whether it is about Sindbad or Tintin. Not only Indian cartoons, they can be introduced to Foreign cartoons slowly. Sequencing, vocabulary development etc. skills can be improved among young learners. Studying comic books will definitely help in connecting students to other works of literature, literary analysis and the skills they require for deeper comprehension.

  • Introduction: Frictive Pictures 1 Cartoon Internationale
    Notes Introduction: Frictive Pictures 1. There may be even earlier social groups united by an interest in pre-cinematic visual technologies or animation-like performances such as shadow-plays. But before animation came into being as a cinematic genre between 1898 and 1906 (Crafton 1993, 6–9, 21), these groups could not be properly termed “anima- tion fan communities,” and should be called something else, such as “zoetrope hobbyists” or “utsushi-e [Japanese magic lantern] audiences.” For that reason, I have chosen to begin with film animation in the early twentieth century, starting specifically in 1906–7 with the earliest verifiable hand-drawn ani- mated films in the West and somewhat less-verifiable experiments in Japan. Readers interested in the international influences of earlier visual media such as painting and printmaking on animation should consult Susan J. Napier’s fascinating history of fine arts influences between Japan and Europe, From Impressionism to Anime (2007). 1 Cartoon Internationale 1. For more on the technical specs of the Matsumoto Fragment, see Frederick S. Litten’s “Japanese color animation from ca. 1907 to 1945” available at http:// litten.de/fulltext/color.pdf. 2. Since the mid-2000s, there has been a small but heartening swell of inter- est in recovering and preserving early anime among film conservators and distributors. Some major DVD collections of pre-1945 animation include: Japanese Anime Classic Collection. Tokyo: Digital Meme, 2009 (4 discs, English, Korean, and Chinese subtitles); The Roots of Japanese Anime Until the End of WWII [United States]: Zakka Films, 2008 (English subtitles); Ōfuji Noburō Collected Works.

  • Betty Boop 90Th Release August Draft
    BELOVED ANIMATED ICON BETTY BOOP TURNS 90 ON AUGUST 9TH Multiple Celebrations Planned for the Forever Fabulous Character’s 90th Anniversary (Los Angeles – July XX 2020) – Boop-Oop-A-Doop! An international celebration in honor of the beloved animated screen star Betty Boop will take place on August 9th commemorating the 90th anniversary of the famous sass symbol’s big-screen debut. One of the most celebrated cartoon characters in animation history, Betty Boop, is adored by fans of all ages and has long been considered a style icon, trendsetter, and a symbol of women’s empowerment. The character’s owner, Fleischer Studios, along with licensing agent King Features, will celebrate in August and through the rest of the year with social media campaigns, online cartoon screenings, and a number of major brand collaborations. Five Fun Facts about Betty Boop: • Betty Boop’s signature voice actor—Mae Questel—was also the voice for two other classic characters, Olive Oyl and Little Audrey. • Betty Boop has a beloved companion, her adorable pup Pudgy, who first appeared in the 1934 animated film Betty Boop’s Little Pal. • The 1938 Betty Boop cartoon Pudgy and the Lost Kitten features the work of Lillian Friedman, the first female animator to be employed by Fleischer Studios—or in fact by any major animation studio. • When Betty Boop made her debut on August 9,1930 in the Fleischer Studios cartoon Dizzy Dishes, she was not even a completely human character. Rather, she appeared as a singing, dancing, dog-like siren who was introduced as a possible love interest for Bimbo, the half-dog, half-human star of the Max Fleischer series.
