  • Le Mystère Morris
    Le mystère Morris Qui connaît Morris ? Que sait-on de la vie et de la personnalité du créateur de Lucky Luke ? A vrai dire, pas grand-chose. Jusqu'à la parution en décembre dernier de L'Art de Morris (1) , il n'y avait pas d'ouvrage de référence. "En préparant ce livre, nous avons été frappés par l'absence de documentation, quand, dans le même temps, on pourrait remplir une bibliothèque avec tout ce qui a été écrit sur Hergé, souligne Jean-Pierre Mercier, conseiller scientifique au musée de la BD d'Angoulême et commissaire de l'exposition qui lui est consacrée. Pour un auteur de cette importance, c'est incompréhensible, il y a un mystère Morris. "Certes, le dessinateur belge n'était pas un client facile. Comme souvent chez ceux de sa génération, les épanchements n'étaient pas son fort, mais, même pour ses pairs, il faisait figure de Martien. "Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché." Il avait fait sienne cette devise, fuyait les mondanités et n'aimait guère les médias. Disparu en 2001, à l'âge de 78 ans, l'homme donnait des interviews au compte-gouttes et préférait rester devant sa télé à dessiner des caricatures plutôt que d'y montrer sa bobine. Idem pour les rares expositions dont il a fait l'objet, car il répugnait autant à prêter ses planches et ses dessins originaux qu'à les voir accrochés aux murs. Curieusement, cet homme qui, dans les années 1960, plaidait pour la reconnaissance de la bande dessinée et fut l'un des premiers à parler de "neuvième art", s'agaçait de ce qu'elle était devenue la décennie suivante.

MEMORIES OF JOHANNESBURG, CITY OF GOLD Written and Compiled By © ANNE LAPEDUS BREST 4th February 2009, Morningside, Sandton, S.Africa On the 4th February 1961, when I was 14 years old, and my brother Robert was 11, our family came to live in Jhb.

  • The Passage of the Comic Book to the Animated Film: the Case of The
    THE PASSAGE OF THE COMIC BOOK TO THE ANIMATED FILM: THE CASE OF THE SMURFS Frances Novier Baldwin, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Marie-Christine Koop, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Christophe Chaguinian, Committee Member Lawrence Williams, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Baldwin, Frances Novier. The Passage of the Comic Book to the Animated Film: The Case of the Smurfs. Master of Arts (French), August 2011, 56 pp., bibliography, 31 titles. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of history and culture on the passage of the comic book to the animated film. Although the comic book has both historical and cultural components, the latter often undergoes a cultural shift in the animation process. Using the Smurfs as a case study, this investigation first reviews existing literature pertaining to the comic book as an art form, the influence of history and culture on Smurf story plots, and the translation of the comic book into a moving picture. This study then utilizes authentic documents and interviews to analyze the perceptions of success and failure in the transformation of the Smurf comic book into animation: concluding that original meaning is often altered in the translation to meet the criteria of cultural relevance for the new audiences. Copyright 2011 By Frances Novier Baldwin ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am particularly grateful to Dr. Marie-Christine Koop for suggesting the topic for my thesis. For their instruction and guidance, I am also obliged to Drs.

  • A TOWN CALLED PANIC a Film by Stéphane Aubier & Vincent Patar

Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series (which was released by Wallace & Gromit’s Aardman Studios), Panic stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse who share a rambling house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to gift Horse with a homemade barbeque backfires when they accidentally buy 50 million bricks. Whoops! This sets off a perilously wacky chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures. Each speedy char- acter is voiced—and animated—as if they are filled with laughing gas. With panic a permanent feature of life in this papier-mâché burg, will Horse and his equine paramour—flame-tressed music teacher Madame Longray (Jeanne Balibar)—ever find a quiet moment alone? A sort of Gallic Monty Python crossed with Art Clokey on acid, A Town Called Panic is zany, brainy and altogether insane-y! INTRODUCTION A Town Called Panic is one of the rare full-length animated films ever to secure the honor of a coveted slot in the Official Selection (in this case, Out of Competition) at Cannes.

  • DOSSIER PEDAGOGIQUE / LUCKY LUKE Et PHIL DEFER
    DOSSIER PEDAGOGIQUE / LUCKY LUKE et PHIL DEFER (MORRIS) - La série Lucky Luke : Le personnage de Lucky Luke apparait à la fin de l’année 1946 au sein du Journal de Spirou, magazine extrêmement populaire lancé depuis 1937 par l’éditeur belge Jean Dupuis. Imaginé par le dessinateur Morris (de son vrai nom Maurice de Bévère, 1923 - 2001), le cow-boy qui « tire plus vite que son ombre » trouvera son apogée avec les collaborations scénaristiques de René Goscinny, de 1957 à 1977. Lucky Luke sera publié dans le journal Pilote de 1967 à 1973, et paraitra directement sous forme d’album cartonné aux Editions Dargaud après cette date. A la disparition de Morris, le héros est repris par Achdé et Laurent Gerra dès 2001 sous un nouveau titre (Les aventures de Lucky Luke d’après Morris). Hommage parodique truffé de références au Western et au cinéma hollywoodien, la série a installé une galerie de personnages emblématiques qui comptent certainement parmi les plus connus du 9ème Art (Les frères Dalton, Jolly Jumper, Rantanplan, etc.), aux côtés de ceux d’Hergé (Tintin) et d’Uderzo (Astérix). L’album : Phil Defer « le Faucheux » (titre complet apparaissant en page de titre) est le huitième album de la série et parait en 1956. C’est chronologiquement le dernier récit imaginé par Morris seul, avant que n’intervienne René Goscinny, qui modifiera en profondeur dans ses futurs scénarii la psychologie des personnages comme l’arrière-plan humoristique. Phil Defer apparait ainsi encore aujourd’hui comme un album au ton très dur et cynique : la mort y est montrée ou suggérée de nombreuses fois alors que la censure l’interdisait explicitement depuis 1949 pour les ouvrages à destination de la jeunesse.

  • Lucky Luke Shaped by Myth and History [1] by Annick Pellegrin
    TRANSFORMATIONS Journal of Media & Culture http://www.transformationsjournal.org/journal/24/05.shtml ISSN 1444-3775 Issue No. 24 2014 — The Other Western “I Knew Killing a Man Would Kill You”: Lucky Luke Shaped by Myth and History [1] By Annick Pellegrin The two most successful creations of American movies are the gangster and the Westerner: men with guns. Guns as physical objects, and the postures associated with their use, form the visual and emotional center of both types of films. - Robert Warshow, The Immediate Experience, 135 Born in 1946 in the comic magazine Spirou, and pre-published in its pages until 1968 (Mellot 21), the comic series Lucky Luke recounts the adventures of the phlegmatic and lanky Lucky Luke as he travels across the Wild West together with his talking horse, Jolly Jumper. Although he is a cowboy, Lucky Luke is rarely depicted herding cows and is more often seen serving his country as a court officer, as a “special government employee,” as a sheriff or as a mayor (du Chatenet 697-99). In addition to entirely fictional characters, Lucky Luke is known for featuring historical characters, such as Calamity Jane and Jesse James, as well as numerous caricatures of celebrities (Delporte 19-28). Lucky Luke’s physique itself was inspired by that of five actors from the US: Tom Mix, William Hart, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Gary Cooper (du Chatenet 697). While the creator of Lucky Luke – the Belgian Morris – collaborated with numerous scriptwriters, Lucky Luke was his only comic series (Filippini, “Les « seconds Rôles » dans Lucky Luke” 25) and he was the sole artist of the series until he passed away.
