Elle lui demande d'épargner l'arbre et lui accorde trois vœux. De retour chez lui, Jonathan raconte à Anna, sa femme, l'aventure qu'il vient de vivre. Mais, à la suite d'une querelle, il gâche ses vœux pour des vétilles, alors que son désir le plus cher aurait été d'avoir un enfant, même «haut comme un pouce». Un minuscule petit garçon, sympathique et joyeux, frappe à leur porte… GEORGE PAL Réalisateur & Producteur George Pal (1908-1980) est une figure majeure du cinéma d'animation, en général et des marionnettes animées en particulier. Producteur de films de science-fiction, il est aussi réalisateur de dizaines de courts métrages d’animation dans les années 40 et de cinq longs métrages dont La Machine à explorer le temps, d’après H.G. Welles. Ses héritiers se nomment Joe Dante, Steven Spielberg ou encore Tim Burton. Natif de Hongrie, il utilisa d’abord son immense talent pour le dessin pour décrocher un diplôme d’architecte à l’Académie de Budapest. Après des débuts au studio Hunnia Films de Budapest où il fait ses premières armes dans le cinéma en dessinant des photos d’exploitation ou encore les panneaux titres des films muets de l’époque, il part à Berlin officier plus précisément pour la publicité pour les studios UFA. C’est là qu’il mettra au point les premiers principes d’une technique unique d’animation qui tranchera avec toutes les autres : le fameux « Stop Motion ». Par la suite George Pal et sa famille fuiront la montée du nazisme en s’installant dans la capitale de la firme multinationale Philips (Eindhoven en Hollande) pour y réaliser des publicités animées qui par la suite voyageront partout dans le monde. Il en profite pour finaliser avec l’américain Dave Bader son système de dessin animé en 3 dimensions (Pal- Doll) qui donnera naissance aux fameuses "Puppetoons." George Pal en profitera pour fonder son propre studio « Dollywood ». C’est à cette époque et grâce aux succès de ses nombreuses publicités que le talent de George Pal éclate complètement (avec notamment "La Grande Revue Philips") et Hollywood le réclame ! Il émigrera aux États-Unis en 1940 sur demande expresse de Frank Freeman, le Président des studios Paramount qui lui propose tout simplement de devenir le responsable du studio d’animation de la Paramount avec 25 techniciens qui n’attendent qu’une chose : commencer à faire des courts métrages ! Ainsi, durant sept ans (jusqu’en 1947), Pal réalisera ou produira plus de 40 courts métrages Puppetoon (dont l'incontournable "Tulips Shall Grow", une œuvre en hommage à l'Europe frappée par la guerre), et il recevra un Oscar® en 1943. Dans son studio, de futurs grands noms de l’animation feront leurs débuts, parmi lesquels on peut citer Ray Harryhausen, Wah Chang, et Gene Warren. C’est à cette époque qu’il liera de fortes amitiés avec notamment des personnalités du monde du cartoon comme Walter Lantz, et Walt Disney. D’ailleurs dans chacun de ses films, Pal fait apparaître le personnage le plus célèbre de Lantz, c’est à dire Woody Woodpecker. (on peut le voir dans sur le mur de la chambre de Tom Pouce !) Dès 1949 et suite aux succès de ces courts métrages, Pal se tournera vers le long métrage de science fiction (genre totalement désuet depuis la fin de la guerre) en utilisant des prises de vues réelles et ses techniques d’animation propres. Son premier film en tant que producteur et responsable des effets spéciaux est Destination Moon en 1949. Le succès (à la fois critique mais aussi public) est tout de suite au rendez vous (il obtiendra d’ailleurs un Oscar pour les effets spéciaux), et il enchaine ensuite directement avec When Worlds Collide, qui lui aussi rapporte beaucoup d’argent à son studio (ainsi qu’un nouvel Oscar !), tout comme le fameux « Guerre des mondes » qui est devenu un des classiques du genre. D’ailleurs en 1953 H.G. Wells a été tellement impressionné par l’adaptation de son roman “Le guerre des mondes” (1953) qu’il a proposé à Pal de lui céder gratuitement les droits d’un de ses livres s’il sengageait à en faire lui même l’adaptation. Pal choisit ce qui deviendra un classique du cinéma : The Time Machine (1960). En 1958, George Pal entame la production de son premier film en tant que metteur en scène : l’adaptation du conte des frères Grimm : « Les aventures de Tom Pouce ». Malheureusement à partir du milieu des années 60, George Pal se trouvera de plus en plus confronté aux nombreux problèmes générés par le système lourd et bureaucratique des gros studios américains qui ralentiront nombre de ses projets.

Ce sont des russes qui ont été les premiers maîtres de cette technique suivis par les tchèques. Mais c’est un hongrois, George Pal qui l’imposera au début des années 40 aux Etats Unis, révolutionnant ainsi le film d’animation. Ses techniques sont uniques et ne seront jamais recopiées car elles nécessitent un immense travail et seraient beaucoup trop coûteuses aujourd’hui. Pour un court métrage, il utilise jusqu’à 5000 marionnettes sculptées une à une à la main. Pour chaque nouvelle image, il change de marionnette ou modifie une partie de son corps, ce qui leur insuffle vie et expression à l’écran- comme en trois dimensions. Pour Tim Burton, Steven Spielberg et bien d’autres cinéastes, George Pal reste une référence cinématographique. Non seulement pour son extraordinaire technique, mais pour son sens du récit et sa poésie qui puise dans le vivier des contes de fées et de la tradition populaire duquel ses fameuses marionnettes sont issues. LES ACTEURS RUSS TAMBLYN Ce fut l’acteur enfant le plus doué de sa génération. Surtout apprécié pour sa maîtrise de la danse il connaîtra adulte la consécration dans Tom Pouce et sera la star des comédies musicales de la MGM comme West Side Story. Après avoir travaillé avec les plus grands réalisateurs : Anthony Mann, John Ford, Richard Brooks, il ne tourne plus, dans les années 60, que dans des films de série Z. Il faudra attendre Davis Lynch pour le revoir dans le rôle du docteur Jacoby dans la série culte de Twins Peaks Filmographie sélective de Russ Tamblyn • Garçon aux cheveux verts, Joseph Losey 1948 • Le Livre noir, Anthony Mann 1949 • Le Père de la mariée, Vincente Minnelli 1950 • Les sept Femmes de Barberousse, Stanley Donen 1954 • West Side Story, Robert Wise 1961 • La Maison du diable, Robert Wise 1963 PETER SELLERS (1925-1980) Sacré en 1959 comme le meilleur acteur britannique, il a magistralement incarné trois personnages dans le Docteur Folamour et le psychanaliste obsédé de Quoi de neuf Pussy Cat ? Mais il est surtout célèbre pour ses rôles comiques : l’invité maladroit de The Party, et le désopilant inspecteur Clouseau dans la série des Panthères roses.

    Racial Stereotyping and Selective Positioning in Contemporary British Animation Charles C.

Recent work produced within Britain has largely been destined for television. This thesis argues that Britain’s multiculturality has not been adequately represented in popular modes of television animation. This is particularly evident in the work of Aardman, Britain’s premier animation studio. The research involves two components: theory and practice. The first seeks to investigate issues relating to representation, stereotyping, ‘race’ and British multiculturalism. Through selected case studies I show how these concepts operate. I begin by sampling televised popular children’s animation, whose characterization and storylines are subjected to scrutiny. Next I focus on a selection of work from the Aardman studio - whose productions are not specifically aimed at children – to extend my analysis. The second component involves the production of a Claymation film designed specifically to demonstrate how it is possible to counter some of the gaps and problems embedded in black representation.
