| 1 | * AnimationAgeGhetto: Culhane discusses this in his book "Animation From Script To Screen". Culhane had an encyclopedic knowledge about animation (as well as other subjects) and pretty eclectic tastes: he praised Creator/RalphBakshi and Creator/RichardWilliams (head animator for ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', which was a big movie hit at the time), ridiculed the commercially-driven cartoons on Saturday morning TV, and tried to present animation as a serious art form indebted to (among others) [[Creator/MichelangeloBuonarroti Michelangelo]] and Creator/SergeiEisenstein. He even warns writers for cartoons never to target children only, because only if you write for adults will you be completely uncondescending. However, his prejudices toward his own profession still show through at times. He assumes that most animators aspire to make people laugh - which would be fine, except that it carries the implication that cartoons cannot inspire any emotion other than hilarity. He also writes that "very subtle acting may never be possible to meet in this medium." |
