Animation Company 2. Warner Bros.

Looney Tunes

(Also copied of Wikipedia).

Looney Tunes is a Warner Bros. animated cartoon series which ran in many movie theaters from 1929 to 1970. It preceded the Merrie Melodies series and is WB's first animated theatrical series. The regular Warner Bros. animation cast also became known as the "Looney Tunes" (often misspelled, intentionally or not, as "Looney Toons"), particularly in the UK, where 'Tunes' and 'Toons' are phonetically different, unlike in the US.
The name Looney Tunes is a variation on Silly Symphonies, the name of Walt Disney's concurrent series of music-based cartoon shorts. Looney Tunes originally showcased Warner-owned musical compositions through the adventures of cartoon characters such as Bosko and Buddy. Later Looney Tunes shorts featured popular characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, Taz, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, and many others. Originally produced by Harman-Ising Pictures, Looney Tunes were produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions from 1933 to 1944. Schlesinger sold his studio to Warner Bros. in 1944, and the newly renamed Warner Bros. Cartoons continued production until 1963. Looney Tunes were outsourced to DePatie-Freleng Enterprises from 1964 to 1967, and Warner Bros. Cartoons re-assumed production for the series' final two years. From 1942 into the 1960s, Looney Tunes was the most popular short cartoon series in theaters, even exceeding Disney and other popular competitors.[1]

This is a video of one of Looney Tunes most famous and most loved characters. Daffy Duck. Who is also my favourite Looney Tunes character. The video is also one of the very early episodes and the show has been running a hell of a long time!

Animation Company 1. Walt Disney Studios

(The following paragraph is copied off Wikipedia) Makes life a lot easier.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS), also known simply as Disney, is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world.[3] Founded on October 16, 1923 by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.
The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses eleven theme parks around the world. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

Animation Example No.5 The Wombles

I was going to put on Wallace and Gromit but instead I put used this less well known and older animation. In old kids programme called The Wombles. I don't know why but I like the old programmes like The Wombles because of the play-dough animation which I think is a very interesting way to do animation. Like for example the old Postman Pat and Fireman Sam, I like how they're made and the way the characters move and the more bland and realer characters that digital cartoon characters. As opposed to digital cartoons that are mostly seen on TV.

And it actually looks like it's made in Yorkshire.

Animation Example No.4 Blu Animation

This is a well known graffiti animation video created by Blu. A graffiti artist who creates motion videos from wall art he paints. the video is a brilliant example of how some artists think outside the box with their work and express an extreme amount of creativity. This is possibly the best wall-painted animation I've ever seen.

Animation Example No.3 Rymdreglage 8-bit Trip

This is a music video created by someone called Rymdreglage. The animation consists of 1500 hours of moving an awful lot of lego bricks and taking snapshots of them. This is the peak of great animation videos consisting of lego. It reminds me of the White Stripes video "Fell in Love with a Girl". But this is far better.

Animation Example No.2 Animator vs. Animation

This is yet another stickman animation video. This is one of my favorites as it shows how creative you can be with just simple stickman drawings. Very entertaining.

Animation Example No.1 Stickman Wars

This video is one of many stickmen wars made on macromedia flash. Most of wish don't have colour unlike this one.
