Animator
An animator is an artist who creates multiple images, known as frames, which give an illusion of movement called animation when displayed in rapid sequence. Animators can work in a variety of fields including film, television, and video games. Animation is closely related to filmmaking and like filmmaking is extremely labor-intensive, which means that most significant works require the collaboration of several animators. The methods of creating the images or frames for an animation piece depend on the animators' artistic styles and their field. Other artists who contribute to animated cartoons, but who are not animators, include layout artists (who design the backgrounds, lighting, and camera angles), storyboard artists (who draw panels of the action from the script), and background artists (who paint the "scenery"). Animated films share some film crew positions with regular live action films, such as director, producer, sound engineer, and editor, but differ radically ...

''Hare Ribbin is a 1944 animated short film in the ''Merrie Melodies'' series, directed by Robert Clampett and featuring Bugs Bunny.

He happens upon Bugs who begins to torment the dog, after the dog sniffs Bugs' armpit and makes the foghorn noise used in radio commercials for Lifebuoy (soap) to warn against "B.O." (body odor). This prompts a chase, which leads to a nearby lake where the rest of the story continues. The rest of the action takes place underwater. Eventually, after a ...

Playing The Pied Piper
Play is a range of intrinsically motivated activities done for recreational pleasure and enjoyment. Play is commonly associated with children and juvenile-level activities, but may be engaged in at any life stage, and among other higher-functioning animals as well, most notably mammals and birds. Many prominent researchers in the field of psychology, including Melanie Klein, Jean Piaget, William James, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Lev Vygotsky have erroneously viewed play as confined to the human species, believing play was important for human development and using different research methods to prove their theories. Play is often interpreted as frivolous; yet the player can be intently focused on their objective, particularly when play is structured and goal-oriented, as in a game. Accordingly, play can range from relaxed, free-spirited and spontaneous through frivolous to planned or even compulsive. Play is not just a pastime activity; it has the potential to serve as an i ...

The Wild And Woozy West
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pron ...

Censored Eleven
The Censored Eleven is a group of '' Looney Tunes'' and '' Merrie Melodies'' cartoons originally produced and released by Warner Bros. that were withheld from syndication in the United States by United Artists (UA) since 1968. UA owned the distribution rights to the Associated Artists Productions library at that time, and decided to pull these 11 cartoons from broadcast because the use of ethnic stereotypes in the cartoons, specifically African stereotypes, was deemed too offensive for contemporary audiences. The ban has been continued by UA and the successive owners of the pre-August 1948 ''Looney Tunes''/''Merrie Melodies''. , these shorts have not been officially broadcast on television and have only been exhibited once theatrically by Warner Bros. in 2010 (see below for more details) since their withdrawal. They have turned up, however, on low-cost VHS and DVD collections. Background The cartoon output of Warner Bros. during its most active period even sometimes had cens ...

Angel Puss
''Angel Puss'' is a 1944 Warner Bros. '' Looney Tunes'' cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on June 3, 1944. The protagonist is a " Li'l Sambo" type blackface character who exhibited common racial stereotypes in speech, intelligence and fear of the supernatural. The African-American weekly newspaper ''The Pittsburgh Courier'' objected strongly to the cartoon, especially because it was run in Los Angeles alongside the ''March of Time'' short ''Americans All'', on the theme of fighting prejudice and stereotypes. The film press did not acknowledge these concerns. The short is one of the " Censored Eleven"' a group of Warner Bros. animated shorts that are withheld from circulation due to their dated racist stereotyping and portrayals. This is also the only '' Looney Tunes'' short in the Censored Eleven, as the other shorts are '' Merrie Melodies''.
