Amusing to discover the Disney animators who worked at the same time


Two previous posts I have reviewed the artistic influences on Disney movies. I started the classic movies like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Cinderella," Pinocchio "and "hififih Beauty" and kept the movies came out in the 60s and 70s, "the beautiful and the Tramp," "101 Dalmatians," "The Jungle Book", " Aristokats "and more. wave film classic, outlined the way artistic wave that came after him. Nevertheless, alongside films that I wrote about in the previous post, left the movies much less successful and unsuccessful, especially in the eighties. anyone of you heard (assuming you are not groupies Animation / Disney ) the following films: "cauldron black", "Oliver and Company," "The Rescuers Down Under," "The Fox and the dog." I do not suppose many of you knew. documentary excellent "Waking sleeping beauty" talking just about the time the failing of the Eighties and the way Walt Disney Studios did to get movies that have become modern classics like "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Lion King." In other words, Disney underwent a renaissance of right, they came back to classical sources also have on films based on the stories of European mostly also for the smooth animation techniques Hand drawn, artistic design and visual effects of the film, returning clear influences from art history, just as was the original classics. This post for me is the highlight in a series of posts on Disney, first of all because those movies I grew up on in real time, born in the late eighties, I was fascinated Bat Little otakon 2011 Mermaid "which to this day remains one of my favorite movies, otakon 2011 along with" Beauty and the Beast "and" The Lion King. " Beyond that, I think this is the golden age of Disney in some ways even more than the original classical period and adds her emotion and drama that did not exist naive days of the 30s and 40s. Someone said Renaissance - Baroque vs. Greece and Rome? The Little Mermaid came out in 1989 and was based (freely) the tale of the Danish writer of the 19th century, Hans Christian Andersen. Ariel's character and that of the sea in general was based on descriptions of mermaids art, especially of the romantic artists and cow - Rfelitim the 19th century, relied on their own classical traditions of Greece (sirens), from the ancient British folklore. John William Waterhouse, A mermaid, 1901
Symbolically, the choice in this painting shows the relationships of the character of Ariel the image of Magdalene lies in painting pensive melancholy posture. Magdalena is trying to change and so is Ariel, along with other links to sexuality, and humanity. Beyond the direct artistic otakon 2011 mention, I think the first time at Disney, drawing teaches us about the period in which the film takes place. Baroque painting is the painting of the 17th-century French artist, be it painting who drowned in a shipwreck can be there for quite a few years. In addition, the design movie contains lots of images of shells, repeat the kingdom of Sea King Triton and Prince Eric's palace. Much more than a narrative and symbolic displays the relationship between the world of Ariel World of Eric, I think it is implied that the period it takes place in the film is the Rococo, otakon 2011 which took place in the 18th century in France and one of the most prominent features was its use of forms of the shell and its derivatives (rocaille French, which is also the word it was based mono "Rococo"), it also connects the clothes of the people in the film certainly seem dated, the exterior design of the palace and the city also fits chronologically painting by de la Tour, probably sunk at sea years before. Images otakon 2011 of shells title: Rococo motif oysters otakon 2011
Tribute is a clear expression of the Renaissance, the salute studios otakon 2011 nineties original classic films. "Beauty and the Beast" was released in 1991 and was based on a French fairy tale from the 18th century. Is the second film in the Disney animated computer otakon 2011 animation. otakon 2011 However, it has style and classical influences. otakon 2011 He opened exposition explaining how arrogant prince turned beast and what should happen to the spell removed. During the introduction there are elements of stained glass reminiscent of medieval French churches. Notre-Dame de la Belle Verrière, Stained glass window in the choir of Chartres cathedral 13th century
Period is probably the French Baroque period (17th century), as can be deduced from the design of the magnificent palace full of dramatic classical statues and caryatids side Gorgoilim. Hgorgoilim are gargoyles were typical otakon 2011 medieval but also returned the Baroque to mention the monsters of hell to believe and warn them lest sin.
Not something to do for all but merely artistic gesture and wink to art lovers, and maybe that's why she was not the original film .... At the end of the film, when the animal is returned to the Prince again is inspired by the paintings of Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, otakon 2011 according to animator Glen Keane illustrated the film. Detail of the Last Judgment of Michelangelo, the 16th century. otakon 2011
Another inspiration was the sculpture of Auguste Rodin, Calais otakon 2011 city leaders 1888 and specifically the back of the sculpture, as detailing Kane interview Certainly, "Beauty and the Beast" is one of the spectacular and artistic films of Disney. The "Aladdin" came out in 1992 I wrote my post extensively on Orientalism, yet I will mention Disney inspired great Orientalist genre of the 19th century, designing the characters and the film structures. "The Lion King" released in 1994 is one of the best films of the Disney eyes (and - in my top 3 along with "The Little Mermaid" and "hifh and the Beast "..) The film is the story of a lion cub growing up named Simba, while his struggles with the dark forces of family and beyond. The film draws much inspiration from Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Big Lots has a profound message about our role in the world, the circle of life and fulfillment. Film music composed by Elton John and Hans Zimmer huge, and includes hits such as Can you feel the love tonight and Circle of life alongside otakon 2011 exciting instrumental pieces.
