LOU SCHEIMER: CREATING THE FILMATION GENERATIONBy MOTU ReviewLou Scheimer: Creating the Filmation Generation is Scheimerrsquo;s 2012 autobiography, which he wrote with Andy Mangels. Scheimer co-founded Filmation in 1962, and he was the only one left when the sale to Lrsquo;Oreal shut the company down in 1989. As such, this book also serves as a comprehensive history of Filmation, which is best known for such cartoons as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and Star Trek: The Animated Series.The book begins with Scheimerrsquo;s parentsrsquo; immigration to the United States and his childhood and schooling; from the foundation of Filmation onward, Scheimer keeps things mostly chronological but largely gives a show-by-show account of events. I only have one real complaint about the way the book is laid outmdash;it would have been nice to get more information on the animation process earlier in the book so that certain portions would be easier to follow.The book has a very conversational tone, which makes it extremely engaging. Scheimerrsquo;s personality really comes through unfiltered, and by all accounts, he was quite a character. He never met a tangent he didnrsquo;t like, but most of what he has to say is so interesting that itrsquo;s easily forgiven (e.g., his dad purportedly punched Hitler in the face).Scheimer heavily emphasizes his passion and vision for animation throughout the book. He was a trailblazer, he says, for incorporating racial diversity into childrenrsquo;s cartoons, and for producing material that communicated values, morals, and instruction. He was also committed to keeping animation jobs in the United States when most studios were sending large amounts of work overseas (this is, in fact, one of the primary reasons for Filmationrsquo;s well-known and oft-maligned stock animation system.This is a huge bookmdash;8.5rdquo; by 11rdquo;, and almost 300 pagesmdash;and itrsquo;s kind of unwieldy. Itrsquo;s worth wrestling with, though, because of the vast number of pictures. Contrary to what its page would lead you to believe, however, the book is not in full color. Only pp. 209ndash;224 are; the rest are in black and white, so caveat emptor. The book really could have done with some serious copyediting, especially to clean up Scheimerrsquo;s serial misuse of ldquo;Irdquo; when he should have used ldquo;merdquo; and the redundancies in the writing (Mangels, isnrsquo;t that your job?).For me, at least, the production and editorial knocks on the book are readily forgivable. Lou Scheimer: Creating the Filmation Generation gave me a new appreciation for Scheimer, for Filmation, and for some of the cartoons I grew up with; Irsquo;m grateful simply that the book exists.If any of the Filmation shows you grew up with are still meaningful to you as an adult, odds are yoursquo;ll find Lou Scheimer: Creating the Filmation Generation well worth your time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... Scheimer's animated series on many Saturday mornings and really enjoyed his programsBy A. YeeI grew up watching Lou Scheimer's animated series on many Saturday mornings and really enjoyed his programs. After a long week of school, it was an escape to tune in and see imaginative polished cartoon stories with interesting characters and situations with valuable life lessons to teach. While critics may complain about the Filmation studio animated output and the repeated character designs, movements, and backgrounds, for the target tv audience at its time, it was magic to see many great established concepts like Batman, Superman, The Archies, Flash Gordon, Tarzan, and Star Trek and some original ideas like Fat Albert and Blackstar in cartoon form...and a marvel to behold at Mr. Scheimer's great business instincts in keeping the tv network executives happy and keeping his studio staff motivated in delivering his products on time and within budget for several hours of entertaining for many weeks for over 20 years.Mr. Scheimer's book was very informative and entertaining as he relates his stories in running his studio; dealing with staffers, voice performers, and tv network people; and revealing his personal stories and ideas that worked and didn't advance past the planning stages. He didn't pull any punches in communicating his thoughts about various creative folks, especially well-known controversial talents like Don Bluth and John Kricfalusi, who both previously worked for Filmation Studios, but probably won't list their experiences as career highlights.For this regular tv viewer of Saturday mornings in the hip 1970s...I say thank you, Filmation.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very good history of Saturday Morning Cartoons from a man who was there.By Kindle CustomerI got this with the intention of quickly learning a little trivia about the live action tv shows like ARK II and Shazam that Filmation produced in the 1970s. Little did I know that I would really get caught up in the book and read it cover to cover. Lou is a kind and creative man and his story is interesting. The book mostly follows a year by year timeline that lets the reader absorb all that was happening in the life of the company Filmation during any given year. They began producing cartoons at a time when Network TV decided that they wanted to program Saturday mornings for kids. Hanna Barbara was their biggest rival and the two companies duked it out for most of the 1970s to see who would get the most shows on the most networks. This competition created many of the signature shows of any Generation Xers youth.I found myself highlighting trivia to share with anyone I can find to share it with later and also heading to youtube over and over to relive some of the shows that I had completely forgotten about. It was a very enjoyable experience overall and I recommend this book to anyone interested in Filmation in particular or reliving some of the old Saturday morning magic. Hailed as one of the fathers of Saturday morning television, Lou Scheimer was the co-founder of Filmation Studios, which for over 25 years provided animated excitement for TV and film. Always at the forefront, Scheimer's company created the first DC cartoons with Superman, Batman, and Aquaman, ruled the song charts with The Archies, kept Trekkie hope alive with the Emmy-winning Star Trek: The Animated Series, taught morals with Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and swung into high adventure with Tarzan, The Lone Ranger, and Zorro. Forays into live-action included Shazam! and The Secrets of Isis, plus groundbreaking special effects work on Jason of Star Command and others. And in the 1980s, Filmation single-handedly caused the syndication explosion with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and its successors. Profusely illustrated with photos, model sheets, storyboards, presentation art, looks at rare and unproduced series, and more - plus stories from top animation insiders about Scheimer and Filmation's past - this book will show the Filmation Generation the story behind the stories! About the AuthorAndy Mangels is the USA Today best-selling author and co-author of over twenty fiction and nonfiction books including many Star Trek and Roswell books, as well as Iron Man: Beneath The Armor, Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Characters and Animation on DVD: The Ultimate Guide, and other tomes. He also co-wrote an adventure story that heavily referenced the Filmation series, for Moonstone Books Tales of Zorro anthology.

  • Runaway Film Production: a Critical History of Hollywood’S Outsourcing Discourse
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository RUNAWAY FILM PRODUCTION: A CRITICAL HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD’S OUTSOURCING DISCOURSE BY CAMILLE K. YALE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Professor James W. Hay Professor Steven G. Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Cameron R. McCarthy ABSTRACT Runaway production is a phrase commonly used by Hollywood film and television production labor to describe the outsourcing of production work to foreign locations. It is an issue that has been credited with siphoning tens of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs from the U.S. economy. Despite broad interest in runaway production by journalists, politicians, academics, and media labor interests, and despite its potential impact on hundreds of thousands—and perhaps millions—of workers in the U.S., there has been very little critical analysis of its historical development and function as a political and economic discourse. Through extensive archival research, this dissertation critically examines the history of runaway production, from its introduction in postwar Hollywood to its present use in describing the development of highly competitive television and film production industries in Canada. From a political economic perspective, I argue that the history of runaway production demonstrates how Hollywood’s multinational media corporations have leveraged production work to cultivate goodwill and industry-friendly trade policies across global media markets.

Cramer “And any civilization that does not recognize the female is doomed to destruction. Women are the wave of the future—and sisterhood is…stronger than anything.” -Wonder Woman, The New Original Wonder Woman (7 Nov. 1975) Abstract Live-action superhero films currently play a significant role at the box office, which means they also play a significant role in culture’s understandings about justice.
