Animation movies and favorite Animation Characters

Movie clips containing animation, both solely and partly, can be classified as animated movie clips. In general, the best example of an animated clip would be a small cartoon film or a cartoon character in a normal clip.

If we take a look at the recent releases, there is no major movie based on 2D animation. Is 2D animation worn out, or just not commercial enough? Even if those classic animations are always a pleasure to watch, you have to admit that the modern animation is more attractive.

Do you love cartoons and animated films? In this modern day and age, animation is much more sophisticated. The painstakingly hand drawings of the last decade has been replaced by computer aided images. the lush colors of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves or the latest state of the art Pixar creation. The creative invention of the animation character is the important thing for me. I like characters that are presented well with good characterization and story.

If we take a look at the box office, we see 2 animation movies in top 10 (Shrek 2 and Finding Nemo) with 1,7 billion dollars revenue. That is amazing. I would like to see a movie like Shrek, with real actors, scenes, and other real stuff. From the creators’ point of view, it is cheaper because, with today’s special effects, anything is possible with real actors, and they can’t deny that.

The person most responsible for the big screen success of animated movies was Walt Disney who began in the 1920s by creating such memorable characters as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. One of his first full feature length films was "Steamboat Willie" which starred Mickey Mouse. such memorable character as "Cinderella", "Snow White" "Peter Pan" and the half animated half real person masterpiece "Mary Poppins", which was unique for the times.

The animation character of Top Cat, or TC, as he was known to his friends, he ruled over his alleyway, was the king of his gang and ran rings round the local cops. Disney had great villains too, such as the wonderful Cruella da Ville from 101 Dalmatians. She has got to be the greatest baddie cartoon character of all time. Small children today are still probably afraid of her character. While Tom and Jerry still plays today and is probably the most enduring of the old cartoons. Adults seem to like this sort of animation character as much as the kids do. The character of finding Nemo, A Bug’s Life or the Incredible. Chicken Run, this is a very interesting animation, because it’s not like the other.

As long as there are kids, both young and old, there will always be a market for big budget animated films. And they just keep getting bigger and better.
