Spirited Away & Coraline

Watching "Spirited Away" always gives me the shivers, in a good way. If it's not the amazingly good animation and concept art that blew me away, it's definitely the heart of the storyline that had so much to offer to the audience. After that movie, I am in awe of the artist and the crew who had helped to make the movie a hit.
Once a friend told me she went on a trip to Japan with her classmates and actually went into the studio where "Spirited Away" was being produced. She told me there was a big group of colourists, artists, concept artists all huddled together in a dark studio room, working tirelessly on the animation, and they seemed like they had not even taken a break once. Kudos to them, and it made me appreciate animation films more, hope it does for you too.
Next up, we watched Coraline, with its kooky characters and unusual storyline, it caught my attention completely. It was haunting, creepy, scary and it highlighted to us how parents should show their kids with more attention, if not it would be really hard to keep track of who they are when they grow up and start to have different mindsets and have their own sets of values.

3rd Lesson

One thing about the Preview Theatre, the light is warmly tinted and the seats are so comfy, I just cannot resist catching some forty winks. Thank God for the cartoon shorts in between lessons, seriously.
We were once again introduced to cartoons not made by Disney, but we were exposed to more of the likes of Looney Tunes, which was something I couldn't live without while eating meals when I was a kid. We were shown some shorts and I was so surprised because I've watched all these and it was just so refreshing to know some facts about those shorts. It was like reliving and replaying the past, all over.

I've always like Bugs Bunny, that cunning wabbit. Spinning people who are out to catch him around his tricks and then to realize their folly too late, it gets me, all the time. This is one of my favourite shorts of all time. Heh. Enjoy!

Walt Disney

Strangely enough, I've always like Walt Disney's birth year, 1901, it makes everything so easy to count from there. He is undoubtedly, the most famous cartoonist and animator of all time, who created and shaped our childhoods with Mickey Mouse and my most favourite character, Cinderella (more of Prince Charming actually hohohoho), and also filled our little minds with limitless imagination and fantasy. He had certainly made a lot of kids happy. :D
When I was a kid I was brought to the Science Center with the school to watch Fantasia in the Omnitheatre. The screens were, like gigantic, and it was such a panoramic sight for all of us viewers. Mickey was blown into 100 times his size on screen. Awe-tastic. We kids were once so silent and still as we were all really blown away. Even watching Pocahontas on the big screens wasn't that fantastic after all.
Disney has definitely left behind a huge legacy, which would certainly carry on from generation to generation. Who can ever forget the most significant pair of ears?
