Animation History Round-Up
August 30, 2007 2:10 am
Golden Age comics by animation artists Rod Scribner and Dan Gordon. Even B-animation studios get love online: “Why we love Famous cartoons.” Terrytoons animator Carlo Vinci: Artist first, animator second. A valuable lesson if there ever was one.
The greatest Warner Bros. background painter: Paul Julian. Lovely pre-production art from Dick Williams’s Raggedy Ann and Andy. Rubber hosey goodness: The Office Boy, a Flip the Frog short by Ub Iwerks. 8 comments posted in Classic, Internet/Blogs

Boy oh boy, there has never been a greater time to be an animation student! I was lucky enough to go along on the Carlo Vinci trip with Steve, and I was blown away.
Never before has there been such wonderful access to the history of cartoons. Thanks for posting this round-up!
Those “Raggedy Ann & Andy: the Musical” model sheets are fantastic!
Any word on when we might get this lost gem on DVD?
Wow! Great links. The Hans Bacher postings are coming so fast, I can’t really keep up. It’s worth it to check his blogs daily. Loved the Raggedy Ann art too!
Those backgrounds blow my mind! :-)
Thanks for pointing people in the direction of appreciation for Dan Gordon and Paul Julian.
I really enjoyed the “Artist First, Animator Second” link. It’s a very important fact and note that I keep trying to tell myself and others…and what’s reeeaaally strange is I just got done telling someone about how older animators began as artists, and how many students (myself guilty) and up-and-coming animators seem to lack that rooted artistic knowledge.
“Raggedy Ann and Andy” was barely released about fifteen years or so ago, with little promotion, on VHS. It has become a rarely-seen animated film.
The best? Very close friend, but I’m afraid Maurice Noble still holds that title.
