When a museum in Belgium praising the iconic animation image Herge and his world-renowned cartoon character Tintin on the second day of August this year, it was a fitting gratitude to the triumphs of Herge's distinct animation style. Imagine if one's cartoon character is able to survive from a simple witty deprive in 1929 to a television, theater and video game goliath today, then it certainly deserves to be acknowledged and privileged in a museum.
Now throughout the young history of mainstream animation, there are a few studios, artists, and anime characters which stand out among the rest. Such projects have an undeniable affect popular culture and a museum for them would serve as a top-notch compliment. After all, museums are said to be an abode for art -- and what better way to honor animation than associate it with the greater martial arts disciplines? Here are a few potential cartoon character properties which pop in the top of my head when thinking of a museum:
The indicates of museums should have some rich historical and archaeological background in order to portray an awareness of credibility. Looking back at all the popular television anime characters of the past decades, the common place seems to be Hanna-Barbera Stage productions. While criticisms have been aplenty about Hanna-Barbera Stage productions falling into the trap of formulations and stereotypes in anime animation series, they have still succeeded in giving us many of the most liked series of all time: the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Harrass, Scooby Doo, and so on and so forth. ugly cartoon characters girl Wouldn't it be nice to see all these iconic characters in one grand corridor as if these were all exquisite works of art? Presently, the partnership of William Hanna and Ernest Barbera and their body work are privileged in a few museums such as the Los angeles Museum of Radio and Television -- but it's still nice to see a dedicated shrine for them.
To honor the tradition of stop motion animation, I would like to see the green clay courts cartoon character Gumby get its museum to honor its run of 233 assaults in American television for over thirty-five years. During the 50th loved-one's birthday of Gumby, its creator Art Clokey was privileged in the Museum of the Moving Image. Clokey is a leading of stop motion animation and described his work of Gumby as "massaging of the eye cells. inch A museum with Gumby at the front can also be a spectacle of all the other successful and emerging stop motion animation works. This could include Aardman Animations' Wallace and Gromit.
It is also tempting to put the loving anime characters of Walt Disney and Warner Inlaws in this search for a museum -- but they already have established studio room strongholds which serve as their museum/homes all in one. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig -- sorry but museums should be able to expose anime characters which are of immense historic value and yet are less popular. An example of this sort would be Heathcliff the cat.
Heathcliff has black and orange stripes with a cranky attitude to start. Sounds as being similar to Garfield? Well, one will be surprised to find out that Heathcliff came first before Garfield but was lost in the consciousness of many customers. It was created in 1973 while Garfield was in 1978. Characters such as Heathcliff, which was very popular during the 1970s, can benefit well from a museum.
