  • Harry Warner Lighter Elyse
    Episode 204 - Story 2: Harry Warner Lighter Elyse: This story could reveal an unusual connection between a famous Hollywood movie producer and the propaganda machine of the Third Reich. Itʼs 1939. Nazi aggression is tearing the world apart. In Germany, anti-Semitic films are being produced on the sound stages of UFA, the once great film studio that's now controlled by Hitler. Some sixty years later, a man in California has an antique lighter engraved with the UFA company logo. What he doesn't understand is why the other side of the lighter bears the name Harry Warner, legendary Hollywood film mogul and immigrant Jew. What could possibly be the connection? The lighter is the proud possession of Robert Galant of Riverside, California. He found it at a flea market and was immediately intrigued. Robert Galant: I noticed that it had "Germany" on it, so I know it's a German lighter. Then I saw the name on there, "UFA;" it's pronounced "oofa." I knew this was during the time when Hitler was taking over UFA, using it for his propaganda machine for the military. On the other side of the lighter it had a name actually engraved on it, and I said, "oh, Harry Warner, maybe of Warner brothers." I started thinking, hey; wait a minute, what is this? Whatʼs the connection here? Elyse: Iʼm Elyse Luray. Iʼve come to Los Angeles, California, the moviemaking capital of the world, to investigate a true Hollywood mystery. Ah, this must be the lighter. Robert Galant: That's it. Elyse: Wow, it's in such good condition.

  • The Dynamics of Creative Play in Studio Animation
    Ludic Toons 4HE $YNAMICS OF #REATIVE 0LAY IN 3TUDIO !NIMATION s Pat Power Though generally accepted as the most playfully entertaining form of popular media or art, animation as play has received little scholarly analysis. The author examines the nature of playfulness in animation and describes play as a criti- cal tool in animation studies. Examining studio character animation from such perspectives as creative production, animated output, and audience reception, he builds on findings of animation studies, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, anthropology, semiotics, sociology, and aesthetics to propose a specific or ludic mode of animation. He then reviews how cinematic naturalism affects the nature of play in animation. He concludes that animation is a playground for the mind and that engagement with animated entertainment is authentic play. Key words: animation history; animation studies; cartoons; Disney; Pixar; playfulness in ani- mation; Warner Bros. Introduction and Scope The field of film studies is itself relatively new, a phenomenon of the 1960s, and animation studies is younger still; it emerged only in the last twenty years. Although most of us find animated cartoons both playful and entertaining, academics have long shied away from the study of animation for this very reason. The perception of animation as “cartoons for kiddies,” largely a Disney legacy, has meant that mainstream animation was a “no-go area for most film critics and theorists” (Pilling 1997, xi). The study of play has similarly suffered such neglect. Given the confluence of these two shunned subject areas, it should be hardly surprising that there has been little, if any, analysis of animation as play, and rarely do we find any play-related discussions in scholarly works on anima- tion—or even any mention of play in their indexes.
