History MediaNotes / TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation

The postwar era radically changed things once again, as television became America's entertainment medium of choice. As if this wasn't enough for the movie industry, the 1948 "Paramount case" separated studios from their theater chains, leading to the UsefulNotes/FallOfTheStudioSystem. This slew of travesties made it increasingly difficult to sell cartoons to theaters, which preferred to go with the more cost-efficient double feature route. As such, animators were forced to cut more and more corners in their work. [[Creator/ColumbiaCartoons UPA]] got around this with its use of LimitedAnimation, which received high regard during TheFifties, but not even this second air was enough to keep the medium afloat, particularly as an increasing number of animation producers exploited UPA's influence merely to reduce production costs, increasingly characterizing LimitedAnimation, particularly by the late fifties, as synonymous with the cheapening motion and aesthetics of much of the period's output more than the stylistic technique envisioned by UPA. By the end of the decade, only a handful of studios were still producing theatrical work, effectively dismantling during TheSixties (even though a new studio, DFE, sprung up, mainly to produce a series of shorts featuring a [[WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther certain neon-hued feline]]). Banished to television, they looked like mere shadows of their former glory, fading fast under the glow of the boob tube's glassy screen. However, [[VindicatedByCable help]] [[AnimatedAnthology was on]] [[SaturdayMorningCartoon the way]].

** '''WesternAnimation/BettyBoop''' (1932-1939): One of the Fleischer brothers' most popular characters, [[MsFanservice and the first sex symbol of animation]]. Betty was also one of the favorite characters of anime legend Creator/OsamuTezuka. The Fleischers' original [[UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation Silent Age]] cartoon star, Koko the Clown, would also make frequent appearances in her early shorts.

** '''WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit''' (1929-1938, 1943): Initially made as a [[UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation Silent Age]] cartoon star by Creator/WaltDisney, when his creator left he fell into the hands of Walter Lantz, the head of Universal's animation department, after Oswald had been taken from Charles Mintz's studio "Winkler Pictures" at that time, after Mintz had taken Oswald from Disney [[RuleOfThree beforehand]]. While he would continue making appearances throughout the thirties, he never regained his original popularity he earned under Disney's watch. The character was fairly popular early on, but was gradually phased out by 1938, with an ill-fated revival attempt circa 1943 (with the exception of a brief cameo in ''The Woody Woodpecker Polka'' during the early 50's).

* '''WesternAnimation/CrusaderRabbit''': The first animated TV series, and the first from Jay Ward, who later became prominent during UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation (particularly thanks to ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'').

* ArtEvolution: Animation as a whole slowly went through this phase from UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation to the Golden Age.

** By the mid-1950s at the twilight of this era, [[Creator/ColumbiaCartoons UPA]] became such a heavy influence that many studios started using UPA-esque stylized backgrounds and LimitedAnimation. ''Looney Tunes'' in particular (especially Creator/ChuckJones) ran away with the influence, and even Disney dabbled in UPA-esque animation from time to time, such as in ''WesternAnimation/PigsIsPigs1954'' and the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresInMusicDuology'' (although Walt Disney himself disliked the style), which contributed to the rise of UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation after studios started using it from a budgetary standpoint.

** ''Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat'' is one huge throwback to this era, as well as UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation, mainly the surreal works of Max Fleischer.

* MissingEpisode: While this era of animation doesn't have it '''''ANYWHERE''''' near as bad as the films of [[UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation the silent era]], there's still some problems with it occasionally popping up. The good news is that the bulk of the publicly screened theatrical cartoons of the day still exist in some form, and several companies such as Disney, MGM, Warner Bros. and even the Columbia Cartoon library have had their libraries restored, with only a handful if any flat out missing episodes. Even the Van Beuren studio and Terrytoons have virtually all of their sound films still existing in some way. The bad news is that this is definetely not the case with industrial films and commercials of the era, such as the films of the Jam Handy Studio and the shorts of the army based First Motion Picture Unit. On that note, many of the big studio cartoons have had their original titles removed in reissues, even having new titles spliced into the original negatives--this is the case with many of the Betty Boop and Looney Tunes shorts.

* RogerRabbitEffect: Was actually being done going back into UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation. Many of Betty Boop's and Koko the Clown's old cartoons incorporated live action footage. There was also the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short "You Oughtta Be In Pictures", WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry's cameo appearance in Gene Kelly's ''Anchors Aweigh'', and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck lusting after human ladies in WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros.

* RuleOfAnimationConservation: Was initially very common thanks to the efficiency of rubber hose characters...until Disney began demanding more realistic, dynamic and natural animation in his works-his imitators promptly followed suit ('''especially''' MGM). Studios like Universal, Fleischer and Warner Bros. usually stuck by this trope all the way however, as they had to cope with generally low budgets that would have made it impossible to reach the level of quality the works of Disney and MGM reached. This trope became increasingly more common during the twilight years of this era, however, even with big budget studios like Disney and even MGM. Naturally, this trope and its sister trope LimitedAnimation would grow and spin completely out of control by the dawn of [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation the next era]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Where to even start? Betty Boop in particular refuged in this until the [[UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode Hays Office]] finally cracked down on her in 1934. The Creator/HannaBarbera duo, Creator/TexAvery, and Creator/ChuckJones stated explicitly that WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry and the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes series were cartoons that were made for an ''adult'' audience.

''The Golden Age of Animation'' is a period in the HistoryOfAnimation that is generally agreed to have begun on November 18th, 1928, with the release of ''WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie'', and cemented with Fleischer's, Warner's and MGM's rise to prominence in the years following. It gradually faded out from the early [[TheFifties 50s]] to late [[TheSixties 60s]] [[note]]Either in 1950, with the premiere of ''Gerald [=McBoing=] Boing'', which popularized the stylized LimitedAnimation aesthetic that would become increasingly ubiquitous in the Dark Age; in 1954, with the premiere of Walt Disney's Disneyland (accelerating his growing disinterest in animation); in 1957, when MGM closed its cartoon division and TV animation juggernaut Hanna-Barbera opened; in 1959, when Disney released ''Sleeping Beauty'' and United Productions of America turned to television; in 1963-64, when the original WB cartoon studio closed and [=DePatie=]-Freleng began operations; in 1966, with Walt Disney's death; or even as late as 1969-73, when the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts animation department, Terrytoons and Walter Lantz Productions shut down and Walt Disney Productions' 50th Anniversary[[/note]] when theatrical animated shorts lost ground to the new (and far lower budget) medium of television animation.

* '''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''': The best-known and best-loved non-Disney cartoons of the Golden Age. Started as a series of WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies clones until the studio began GrowingTheBeard and both titles wound up just being umbrella titles for all of their cartoons.
* '''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]''': Same as above.
** The bulk of the '''UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesAndMerrieMelodiesFilmography''' was made during this time period. Check them below to see how much work was done during the time.
*** '''UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheThirties''': Covers the short from 1929 to 1939.
*** '''UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheForties''': Covers the shorts from 1940 to 1949.
*** '''UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheFifties''': Covers the shorts from 1950 to 1959.

* DoingItForTheArt: In full swing during this era, especially in the case of the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes staff and Creator/HannaBarbera's work at MGM.

*** In fact, ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' did a throwback to the classic black and white WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes in the episode ''Two Tone Town''.
*** The InUniverse conceit of the Warners ''themselves'' is that they were Golden Age characters who were locked away, and escaped into the modern day.
** While not a ''total'' throwback, WordOfGod has stated that WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries intentionally draws many of its elements, aesthetically and story-wise, from the Fleischer Superman theatrical shorts. One episode in particular, ''Christmas With The Joker'' even has a few clever shout outs to those shorts.

** '''WesternAnimation/ScreenSongs''' (1947 – 1951; a revival of the original Fleischer Studios series)

** '''Musical Miniatures''' (1946-1948: A short lived offshoot of Swing Symphonies, but themed around classical music. Only lasted for six shorts.

** '''WesternAnimation/ChillyWilly''' (1953-1972): Another popular Universal cartoon character that debuted in the 50s. While this [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins cute lil' penguin]] never reached the popularity of Woody Woodpecker, he did last long enough to get 50 shorts. Creator/TexAvery (after he left MGM) also directed two of his early cartoons, helping establish an identity for the series.

** '''VanBeurensTomAndJerry''' (1931-1933) Two bungling young men, one short, one tall, which ran for 26 shorts. [[NamesTheSame Absolutely no relation]] to Creator/{{MGM}}'s WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry shorts (except for the fact Joe Barbera worked in both series), but when reissued as home movies, the characters were renamed "Dick & Larry" to prevent confusion.
