I am seeing several posts today about this being the anniversary of Stan Laurel's passing. If you want to introduce young kids to Stan, I highly recommend showing them his 1-reeler "Oranges and Lemons". youtu.be/KDB6eKpqmM4

I love the floppiness of this animation. Also a good example of fighting choreographed to music. The Pups Picnic (1936) Directed by Rudolf Ising. Sound on.

During WW2, Americans were encouraged to save fuel by finding alternatives to driving. Disney’s 1943 short “Victory Vehicles” was a list of comical ideas, such as using pogo sticks. #Disney #Animation

The animator made the most of the stork’s long legs and neck, with clever, atypical motion.

Tex Avery was good at contrasting characters, like this classy, imperturbable fox vs the brainless dogs. Sound on.

Today is Frank Tashlin's birthday, so I want to celebrate by showing one of my favourite cartoons, which is also one of my favourite screwball Daffy cartoons. The angular designs, quick timings, and sharp animation do this cartoon justice. Cartoon: "Nasty Quacks" (1945, Frank Tashlin)

The animators would have known the kind of gags Laurel and Hardy would do, and created their own. #LaurelAndHardy #comedy

If your character is running vertically up a wall, be sure to have them slip a little at the end and have to jump to grab a hold. Here are two examples #AnimTips #animation

A short compilation of Tom and Jerry to admire the physical destruction of the house. All the detail of plaster, lath, glass, wood, bricks, dust and smoke flying around. Has any one else done this so well? #TomAndJerry #Effects #VisualEffects

I was watching Rocky & Bullwinkle when something caught my eye. I went back to look again, and yes, the animators put Natasha’s boobs on their own layer so they could give them some action. #animators #comedy

The “innocent” is a character who doesn’t know the danger they are in and are magically protected from harm. Some one else takes all the blows. Roger Rabbit and Baby Herman cartoons work exactly like this Popeye clip. #Popeye #Comedy

In silent comedy, they used the term “topper.” It is when you top the gag that came before. King Size Canary (1947) Is one long sequence of toppers. #TexAvery
