Each cartoon is under 30 minutes long and cel-animated (with the exception of Gertie the Dinosaur ). Of the 50 cartoons that made it onto the list, however, only nine were produced by Walt Disney Productions. The cover art, by Greg Martin, depicts characters from all 50 of the shorts listed in the book at a dinner club. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto (who, ironically, does not actually appear in any of the shorts listed) can be seen on the back cover.

The Disney cartoon shorts listed here are: The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1000 Animation Professionals by Jerry Beck. A book written by Jerry Beck in 1994 called The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals does indeed contain a list of the 50 greatest cartoons as chosen by industry professionals. The list is filthy with Warner Bros cartoons, particularly by the recently aforementioned Chuck Jones (four of the top five are by Jones). I don’t know how many are available on YouTube, but I tracked down a couple to show my 4-year-old son, Ollie: Duck Amuck and Rabbit of Seville. By the time we were finished with Rabbit of Seville, Ollie had literally peed his pants from laughing so hard. I think I’m gonna get the Looney Tunes collection on Blu-ray so we can watch more but I’m a bit afraid of what the hijinks of Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner might do to my boy’s pants. The 50 Greatest Cartoons. The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals is a 1994 book by animation historian Jerry Beck. It consists of articles about 50 highly regarded animated short films made in North America and other notable cartoons, which are ranked according to a poll of 1,000 people working in the animation industry. Each cartoon is under 30 minutes long and cel animated (with the exception of Gertie the Dinosaur ). Seventeen of the selected films were produced for Warner Bros.'s Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series, ten of which were directed by Chuck Jones. All of the selected cartoons were created and released prior to 1960, except for the 1985 short The Big Snit (#25), the 1988 short The Cat Came Back (#32), the 1969 short Bambi Meets Godzilla (#38), the 1987 short The Man Who Planted Trees (#44), and the 1975 short Quasi at the Quackadero (#46).

In addition to the main list, the book also recommends other cartoons that were nominated for the main list. They are placed in alphabetical order. 10 of the Greatest Cartoons of All Time. Animation historian Jerry Beck penned a 1994 book titled The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected By 1,000 Animation Professionals . We probably don’t need to tell you what the tome entails, but we can tell you that thanks to Mubi, we’ve uncovered the list of animated shorts in Beck’s book online. Almost all of the films are under 30 minutes long, were made in North America, and were released before 1960 (minus a handful). We’ve combed through Beck’s best-of list and highlighted a few gems past the break. A jazz icon, Edgar Allan Poe, and a famous Japanese monster all make an appearance. Grab your cereal bowl, fake like it’s Saturday morning, and tell us what cartoon greats win you over in the comments below. What’s Opera, Doc? (1957) #1. Many of the films on Beck’s list were produced for Warner Bros.’s Looney Tunes and directed by animation legend Chuck Jones — including the number one pick of the bunch, What’s Opera, Doc? . The six-minute short (give or take a few) is part of Warner’s Merrie Melodies series, which started in 1931 and became a musical, cartoon extravaganza featuring the hits of the day.

  • Thesis Writing Deliverables (Pdf)
    DEFENSE SPEECH Discovering and listening to music has always been my biggest passion in life and my primary way of coping with my emotions. I think its main appeal to me since childhood has been the comfort it brings in knowing that at some point in time, another human felt the same thing as me and was able to survive and express it by making something beautiful. For my project, I recorded a 9 track album called Strange Machines while I was on leave of absence last year. This term, I created a 20 minute extended music video to accompany it. All of this lives on a page I coded on my personal website with some fun bonus content that I’ll scroll through at the end of this presentation. I’ll put the link in the comments so anyone who’s interested can check it out at their own pace. I have so much fun making music and feel proud when I have a cohesive finished product at the end. I’m not interested in becoming a virtuoso musician or a professional producer. A lot of trained musicians gatekeep, intimidate, and discourage amateurs. People mystify and mythologize the creative process as if it’s the product of some elusive, innate genius rather than practice, experimentation, and a simple love of music. As someone who’s work exists entirely as digital recordings, there’s no inherent reason for me to be an amazing guitar player who can play a song perfectly all the way through, as mistakes can be easily cut out and re-recorded.

  • Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2016
    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2016 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage August 15, 2017 Dr. Carla Hayden The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Hayden: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2016 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. Americans have been making films for more than 120 years, but it is only in the last 30 that we have rallied to save those images. In 1996, Congress created the NFPF to help archives, libraries, and museums to rescue this history and share it with the public. Thanks to federal funding secured through the Library of Congress, entertainment industry and foundation support, and the unwaver- ing dedication of preservationists, there is much good news to report. As of 2016, the NFPF programs have preserved more than 2,290 motion pictures—newsreels, actualities, cartoons, silent-era productions, avant-garde films, home movies, and other independent works that might otherwise have faded from public memory. Tremendous credit is due to the 284 public institutions that have participated in our programs to save culturally significant motion pic- tures. Once copied to film stock and safely archived, the works begin a new life through teaching, exhibition, broadcast, DVD, and most especially, the Internet. With international partners, the NFPF has helped archives in the United States bring home 240 early American films that had not been seen in decades.
