  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit a Jumpchain CYOA (V1) Welcome, Jumper, to Los Angeles
    Who Framed Roger Rabbit A Jumpchain CYOA (V1) Welcome, Jumper, to Los Angeles. Here, cartoon characters- such as Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny- work as actors and entertainers, producing the classic cartoons that we all know and love. These cartoon characters- called “Toons”- live in their own part of town, which is fittingly named “Toontown”. But all is not right, and very soon events will transpire that threaten the very existence of Toons. Greed, Patty Cake, murder all threaten to bring Toontown to its knees. In a few days, one Eddie Valiant will be commissioned by R.K. Maroon, head of Maroon Cartoons, to investigate Roger Rabbit’s wife; Jessica Rabbit, a sensual Toon who dances at the Ink & Paint Club. Will you assist Eddie Valiant in his mission, or will you ensure the destruction of Toontown? Maybe you’ll do neither. But in any case… Here’s 1,000 CP to help you get situated. Origins: Roll 2d8+18 for your age. Gender stays the same; you can pay 50 CP to change both. Drop In: You know the drill; no new memories or a history in this world. You start outside of the ACME factory, where cartoon props and gag items like disappearing-reappearing ink are made. (0 CP) Drop In-Toon: That’s… different. You’re a Toon now, but you don’t have any new memories or a history. You might be able to get a job at Disney or Warner Bros if you’re funny enough. You might also be able to get your own strip in the funny pages, if it’s the non-moving cartoons you like.

  • Intermedialtranslation As Circulation
    Journal of World Literature 5 (2020) 568–586 brill.com/jwl Intermedial Translation as Circulation Chu Tien-wen, Taiwan New Cinema, and Taiwan Literature Jessica Siu-yin Yeung soas University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract We generally believe that literature first circulates nationally and then scales up through translation and reception at an international level. In contrast, I argue that Taiwan literature first attained international acclaim through intermedial translation during the New Cinema period (1982–90) and was only then subsequently recognized nationally. These intermedial translations included not only adaptations of literature for film, but also collaborations between authors who acted as screenwriters and film- makers. The films resulting from these collaborations repositioned Taiwan as a mul- tilingual, multicultural and democratic nation. These shifts in media facilitated the circulation of these new narratives. Filmmakers could circumvent censorship at home and reach international audiences at Western film festivals. The international success ensured the wide circulation of these narratives in Taiwan. Keywords Taiwan – screenplay – film – allegory – cultural policy 1 Introduction We normally think of literature as circulating beyond the context in which it is written when it obtains national renown, which subsequently leads to interna- tional recognition through translation. In this article, I argue that the contem- porary Taiwanese writer, Chu Tien-wen (b. 1956)’s short stories and screenplays first attained international acclaim through the mode of intermedial transla- tion during the New Cinema period (1982–90) before they gained recognition © jessica siu-yin yeung, 2020 | doi:10.1163/24056480-00504005 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded license.

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.

  • ALSO LIKE LIFE: the FILMS of HOU HSIAO-HSIEN New Addition: Hou Hsiao-Hsien in Conversation at BFI Southbank – Monday 14 September
    ALSO LIKE LIFE: THE FILMS OF HOU HSIAO-HSIEN New addition: Hou Hsiao-Hsien In Conversation at BFI Southbank – Monday 14 September Thursday 13 August 2015, London The BFI is delighted to announce that one of the leading figures of the Taiwanese New Wave Hou Hsiao-Hsien, whose latest film The Assassin won Best Director at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, will make a very rare visit to the UK to take part in an In Conversation event at BFI Southbank. The event, which takes place on Monday 14 September, is part of Also Life Life: The Films of Hou Hsiao- Hsien, a major retrospective celebrating Hou’s work, which takes place from 2 Sept – 6 Oct 2015 at BFI Southbank. Hou-Hsiao-Hsien has helped put Taiwanese cinema on the international map with work that explores the island’s rapidly changing present as well as its turbulent, often bloody past, and is one of the best examples in world cinema of a director who found his own distinctive style and voice while working on the job. The season will kick off with Cute Girl (1980), Cheerful Wind (1981) and The Green Green Grass of Home (1982), all starring Hong Kong pop star Kenny Bee; these early films offer a mixture of comedy and romance and begin to show Hou’s interest in Taiwan’s regional differences, a key theme of his later films. Hou’s other early films such as The Sandwich Man (1983) and The Boys from Fengkuei (1983) dramatised engaging life stories – including his own in The Time to Live and the Time to Die (1985).

  • City People: Youth and the Urban Experience in Hou Hsiao-Hsien’S Later Films
    City People: Youth and the Urban Experience in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Later Films June Chun Yip 葉蓁 Ph.D. in Comparative Literature Princeton University "[In the urban novel] the general movement we remember --- the characteristic movement --- is a hurrying, seemingly random passing of men and women, each heard in some fixed phrase, seen in some fixed expression: a way of seeing men and women that belongs to the street. There is at first an absence of ordinary connection and development. These men and women do not so much relate as pass each other and sometimes collide..." (Raymond Williams, The Country and the City) There's a whole generation With a new explanation People in motion... people in motion (Scott McKenzie, "San Francisco (Flowers in Your Hair)") Studies of Taiwanese New Cinema have often posited its two leading figures, Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-hsien, as opposite though complementary figures: Yang the poet of modern urban angst and Hou the chronicler of a rural life that is rapidly disappearing. Certainly, Yang is rightly celebrated for his sharp observations of the materialism and soullessness of life in modern Taipei--- especially among Taiwanese youth --- in films such as The Terrorizer, Yi Yi and A Confucian Confusion. Yet many of the urban themes he addresses --- physical isolation, emotional vacuity, and spiritual rootlessness --- run throughout the films of other New Cinema auteurs as well, including those of Hou Hsiao-hsien. Indeed, Hou has grappled with aspects of postmodern metropolitan life throughout his career. Earlier films such as Daughter of the Nile, Good Men Good Women, and Goodbye South, Goodbye, addressed, if tentatively, some of the problems facing Taiwanese urban youth: an obsession with consumer culture, altered social relationships, lack of direction and connectivity.

  • Disney Weasels Besides the Ones in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Weasels in Stories Taking Place Before, During Or Immediately After
    Disney weasels besides the ones in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Weasels in stories taking place before, during or immediately after 1947: (Note: The criteria here is that any of these weasels could’ve easily lived in the same time period as the Toon Patrol. It is not based on the chronological order of their appearances in our world. It’s difficult to say precisely when any of these characters, save for a few, were created/born in the WFRR world.) “Slithy” (named by Fatal) The Resurrection of Doom This sneaky, amoral weasel conceives the plan to bring Judge Doom back from the dead, of all things. It’s unknown why he decides to do this exactly, and it makes one wonder how loyal the weasels were to Doom. After all, would he not be more concerned bringing back the Toon Patrol? It suggests that he would get a better result with Doom than with his “brothers”, as he calls them. The idea that all the members of the Toon Patrol and these three new ones are all literal brothers smacks too much of the Koopalings (that is, they all look really darned different from each other), so it can be assumed that he means “brothers” in the sense of “brother weasels”, or that he considered them to be like brothers, as in “I love you like a brother”. Because there seems to be the suggestion that he wants revenge (presumably because of his “brothers’” death), and is willing to revive someone as dangerous and demented as Doom, I get the impression that he’s slightly deranged.
