🐻 One of my favorite moments from the short “Once Upon A Studio” is when Baloo and Mowgli sing an ending verse of “When You Wish Upon A Star”. It happened right after Baloo closes Scuttles beak due to the seagull attempting to sing, though extremely off key and out of tune. In January, I did some sketches and similar drawings much like this one. In the short, Baloo was voiced by Jim Cummings, the voice of Winnie the Pooh. 🐾🌴

This is what I adore about Hiss. How can he be a villain if he has such a gentle personality and dislikes violence?

Ollie Johnston’s words here speak to me so much, not just regarding Hiss, but my other f/os, and my ocs as well; these characters are real to me, even though I know they don’t actually exist. They feel real, and that is what’s important.

Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life (later republished as The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation) by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston.

This is not just an "animation book". It's an amazing volume on visual storytelling, written by two of the key animators at Disney during the Golden age of American animation.

Unlocking the Power of Animation: A Guide to the 12 Principles of Animation

The 12 Principles of Animation: Bringing Life to Art

Animation is a captivating and ever-evolving art form that has the power to transport audiences to fantastical worlds and stir deep emotions.

Behind the magic of animated films and videos lie the "12 Principles of Animation" a set of guidelines that have been the cornerstone of animation since their introduction by Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston in their 1981 book, "The Illusion of Life" These principles are the building blocks of animation, allowing artists to breathe life into characters and create fluid, engaging motion.

Here are the 12 principles, along with explanations for each:

1. Squash and Stretch (Flexibility and Elasticity)

This principle emphasizes the need to give volume and weight to objects and characters by distorting them when they move. It adds a sense of realism and exaggeration to the animation.

2. Anticipation (Preparing for Action)

Before a character makes a significant movement or action, there should be a brief moment where they prepare for it. This helps the audience understand what's about to happen and adds depth to the animation.

3. Staging (Presentation and Clarity)

Staging involves arranging elements in the scene to convey the story clearly. Proper framing, camera angles, and composition guide the viewer's focus to the most important elements.

4. Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose (Two Approaches to Animation)

These are two different methods of animating. Straight ahead involves creating each frame in sequence, while pose to pose focuses on defining key poses and then filling in the gaps. Both methods have their uses, depending on the desired effect.

5. Follow Through and Overlapping Action (Secondary Motion)

Objects and characters should continue moving slightly after their primary action has stopped (follow through) and some parts of the character may move at different rates or in different directions (overlapping action). This adds realism to motion.

6. slow in and out (Easing In and Out)

To make movements look more natural, objects should start and end their actions gradually, with acceleration and deceleration. This principle prevents abrupt and robotic motion.

7. Arcs (Natural Paths of Action)

Most natural movements follow an arcing path rather than straight lines. Animators should ensure that characters and objects move in arcs to mimic real-world physics.

8. Secondary Action (Supporting Actions)

Secondary actions complement the primary action and add depth to the character or scene. These actions can be facial expressions, gestures, or any other movement that enhances the animation.

9. Timing (Pacing and Rhythm)

Timing is crucial to establish the mood and rhythm of the animation. It determines how fast or slow actions occur and can evoke different emotions in the audience.

10. Exaggeration (Accentuating Reality)

Exaggeration is used to amplify the actions and emotions of characters, making them more expressive and engaging. However, it should be used judiciously to maintain believability.

11. Solid Drawing (Three-Dimensional Forms)

Animators must understand the principles of traditional drawing, including anatomy, perspective, and form, to create characters and objects that appear three-dimensional and solid in a 2D space.

12. Appeal (Attractiveness and Personality)

Appeal refers to the likability and charisma of characters. It involves designing characters with unique and interesting traits that draw the audience's attention and empathy.

Mastering Animation: 12 Essential Principles Explained These principles serve as a foundation for animators to craft compelling stories and characters.

While they were developed in the realm of traditional hand-drawn animation, they continue to be relevant in today's digital animation techniques.

Aspiring animators and seasoned professionals alike still rely on these principles to captivate audiences and breathe life into their creations, reminding us that the magic of animation lies in its ability to make the impossible seem real.

As i conclude this journey through the intricate world of animation, extend our heartfelt gratitude to each reader.

🐆 Similarly to what I did last night, today I looked through another blog post on Andreas Deja’s animation blog in which he showcased some of Milt Kahl’s rough animation drawings of Bagheera in “The Jungle Book”. They are of the scene early on in the movie where Bagheera orders Mowgli to climb a tree to sleep in for the night: “Go on, up you go.” I even looked some other Milt Kahl drawings of Bagheera which showed how the animator observed how actor Sebastian Cabot read his lines as Bagheera during recording sessions for “Jungle Book”. Another one of Bagheera’s main animators was Ollie Johnston, whose scenes included the panther’s discovery of Mowgli, taking him to the wolves den, his nighttime discussion with Baloo, and his heart eulogy thinking that Baloo was killed by Shere Khan. Yesterday was the 56th anniversary of Disney’s “The Jungle Book”. #Disney100

DC's Nuclear Winter Special #1 (2018)

I understand this to be a Santa-free zone, but when I stopped for a moment to consider skipping it I noticed it not only has Rip Hunter, but it has Superman One Million, so I am heading in out of fascination.

The Nuclear Winter Special - Rip Hunter. This is a very Mark Russell story, with all that implies. Using him for the frame story actually isn't the worst idea, as it spreads out the satire. It's on an 'Oogle' campus in the future and skewering tech bros.

Warmth - Batman 666 (groan). Why... why does Damian have a literal bat wing cape on top of his 666 coat? Why does DC persist with this potential future?

Also for the Lazarus Pit fiends (me among them) I note that Ra's has glowy green AND glowy red eyes during this story. Sigh.

Memory Hearth - Superman One Million. J'ONN!!!! THIS STORY INCLUDES DC ONE MILLION J'ONN!!! Okay that's the highlight of this entire issue right there. Also... 'Josh Johnstone' working on the Kent's farm as a handyman when Clark was little? I'm a sucker but that is ADORABLE, J'onn finding and spending time with the other alien on the planet.

Once and Future - Flash. This is Barry reminiscing on why being resurrected was a bad plan about how much he loves Iris and how they are separated by time and space and crises and villains destroying things.

Where the Light Cannot Reach - Aquaman. Arthur gets sent by some scientists to an abyssal trench to look for a radiation-eating microorganism to help with nuclear wasteland that is the earth and sea. He finds it and finds hope.

Last Daughters - Supergirl. Oh GOSH. Sometimes Tom Taylor really can write. In the nuclear wasteland, Kara finds Lucy, a two year old. Kara becomes her mother, and they spend the next two years travelling, until Kara can climb Mount Denali above the radioactive cloud. Kara gets up high enough to see sun, recharges, and then takes Lucy to the Fortress of Solitude, intending to put her in Clark's escape pod and re-enact the end of Krypton. But as Kara is placing Lucy inside, she remembers begging her own parents to come with her...and can't send Lucy alone. So they both squeeze in as Kara cannot abandon her child.

Last Christmas - Firestorm. In our post-apocalyptic world, Firestorm tracks down a nuclear power reading to a dead amusement park, and finds the Nuclear Family, whose power sources are all running down and who are celebrating a final Christmas together. He manages to help them run down at the same moment together (after they try to cause one last moment of destruction by feeding their remaining power to Firestorm to try and blow him up).

Northern Lights - Kamandi. This is a fascinating way to do the Hanukkah story, imo. It's a story of who you are and how your dead relatives guide you. (also it's Phillip Hester both on story and art, so I stared at the art for a while).

Nine Lives - Catwoman. It's Selina raising Holly Robinson's daughter Sophie in the apocalyptic future. (It does amuse me how many times Selina gets stuck looking after teenage girls over the years). Sophie is generous and gives away what they've stolen; Selina is pragmatic about keeping them alive.

Selina is preserving culture by stealing it to store; she goes off to stare at a Bast statue at the Gotham museum and stumbles onto a stockpile of rations at the same time. So she steals the rations, takes them back to Sophie, and tells her she can distribute them to others for Christmas (because Selina, at heart, is a soft touch).

The Birds of Christmas Past, Present and Future - Green Arrow. Ah yes, this story is reminding me why I tend to believe that Dinah has the worst taste in men (Ollie included), and so this is incredibly cathartic seeing Dinah having her own life and family that isn't just raising Ollie's kids. Go Dinah! This is not an apocalyptic future! You can be fond of and love Ollie and realise he's terrible for you!
