Mea culpa. Now, almost a third of the way into 2018, let us take a look back at British animation in 2017...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y-jkt0FLQw/WtXfhBYAFhI/AAAAAAAASIg/eDB0iFaxkc0Tf-d6idg1rrUE27_aw-XaACLcBGAs/s1600/LovingVincent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="660" height="230" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y-jkt0FLQw/WtXfhBYAFhI/AAAAAAAASIg/eDB0iFaxkc0Tf-d6idg1rrUE27_aw-XaACLcBGAs/s400/LovingVincent.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
2017 saw an international co-production join the ranks of British feature animation: Loving Vincent, a biographical film about the death of Vincent Can Gogh. Production was split between the UK, USA and Poland, with an international team of painters transforming the British cast into rotoscoped recreations of Van Gogh's distinctive style.<br />
<br />
The one British animation nominee at the Oscars was Robert Valley's <i>Pear Cider and Cigarettes </i>(a Canada/UK co-production), which lost to Pixar's <i>Piper</i>. At the BAFTAs, Anushka Kishani Naanayakkara's <i>A Love Story </i>beat out Jac Clinch's <i>The Alan Dimension</i> and Jennifer Zheng's <i>Tough</i> for Best British Short Animation<br />
<br />
There were no British winners at the Ottawa festival this year, but the Annecy and London festivals were different matters.<br />
<br />
At Annecy, <i>Loving Vincent</i> won the Audience Award in the Feature Film category; in the section for TV and Commissioned Films, <i>Revolting Rhymes</i> took the Cristal for a TV Production, the Selfridges advert <i>Material World </i>won the Cristal for a Commissioned Film, and Steve Cutts' music video for Moby's "Are You Lost in the World Like Me?" won the Jury Award.<br />
<br />
At London, the Best British Film category saw Peter Millard's <i>Six God Alphabet </i>become the judges' choice, while Rory Waudby-Tolley's <i>Art For Lawyers</i> took the Audience Vote; Emily Scaife's <i>Attraction</i> won the Judges' Special Mention and Audience Vote in Best Abstract Film; and Will Anderson's <i>Have Heart </i>took one of three Jury Special Awards. The first International Competition Programme (with the theme From Absurd to Zany) had another British winner: Nicolas Menard's <i>Wednesday with Goddard</i>, which won the Judges' Vote.<br />
<br />
Sadly, as always, we must say goodbye to a number of people who helped to make British animation of the past.<br />

2016 award winners: <i>Shaun the Sheep Movie</i>, <i>Edmond </i>and <i>The Amazing World of Gumball</i>.</div>
<br />
2016 was a turbulent year for the United Kingdom, but how did British animation fare...?<br />
<br />
At the Oscars, Richard Williams' <em>Prologue</em> was nominated for Best Animated Short Film while the <i>Shaun the Sheep Movie</i> was a contender for Best Animated Feature; they lost to the Chilean film<i> Bear Story</i> and Pixar's<i> Inside Out</i> respectively. At the Annies, the <i>Shaun the Sheep Movie</i> was nominated in the same category with the same result. <i>Shaun</i> was also recognised in the Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Feature Production categories for Directing, Writing, Production and Editorial, but lost in each instance.<br />
<br />
At the BAFTAs, Nina Gantz's<i> Edmond</i> won in British Short Animation, the other contenders being Richard Williams' <em>Prologue</em> and Simon Cartwright's <em>Manoman</em>. As per a recurring theme, <i>Shaun the Sheep </i>was nominated for Best Animated Film but lost to <i>Inside Out</i>.<br />
<br />
At Annecy, <em>Stick Man</em> won the Cristal for a TV Production, the <em>Lili</em> episode "Lili Loves Food" (a Danish/British co-production) won the Jury Award for a TV Series, and the Junior Jury Award for a Graduation Film went to Jac Clinch's <em>The Alan Dimension</em>.<br />
<br />
The Ottawa festival had one British winner: The <i>Shaun the Sheep</i> episode "The Farmer's Llamas", which was named Award for Best Animated Series Made for Young Audiences.<br />
<br />
At the London International Animation Festival,<i> Johnno’s Dead</i>, a UK/France co-production by Chris Shepherd, was named Best British Film; Elizabeth Hobbs' <i>G-AAAH</i> took the Judges' Vote in the third International Competition Programme; the eighth animation competition programme had two British winners for Audience Vote in Jennifer Zheng's <i>Tough</i> and Anna Ginsburg's <i>Private Parts</i>, which were tied with Swedish animator Jonas Odell's <i>I Was A Winner</i>; and Will Rose's <i>Eagle Blue </i>was, alongside the Hungarian short <i>Hey Deer</i>, a Judges' Vote winner in Framed Film Club - Amazing Animations.<br />
<br />
Finally, the biennial British Animation Awards rolled around once more in 2016. Katie Lenton's M<i>an Up </i>won Best Student Film: Undergraduate, while Sarina Nihei's <i>Small People with Hats</i> took the gold in the Postgraduate category. The awards for Best Children's Series and Best Pre-School Series went to <i>The Amazing World of Gumball</i>: "The Shell" and<i> Lily's Driftwood Bay</i>: "Goodbye Seabird" respectively, wit the <i>Gumball</i> episode also winning <i>Children's Choice</i>. Tom Brown and Daniel Gray's <i>Teeth</i> was named Best Short Film, while the <i>Shaun the Sheep</i> movie perhaps inevitably won Best Long Form. Bixie Bush's <i>Mend & Make Do</i> and TwinTrash's <i>BlueBarry</i> were the Public Choice films. Awards were also handed out for music videos, commercials, film/TV graphics, commissioned animation, voice acting and sound.<br />
<br />
Again, as always, the year witnessed the departures of some of the people who helped to make British animation.<br />

I'll try and be stricter when I come to write about the animation happenings of 2016. But once again, better later then never - so here is a round-up of what went on in the British animation scene during 2015...<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LD0qKkCXiyM/VuAxsFVd_eI/AAAAAAAAR8A/kDbyFdfIrDw/s1600/shaun-the-sheep-mo_3121577k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LD0qKkCXiyM/VuAxsFVd_eI/AAAAAAAAR8A/kDbyFdfIrDw/s640/shaun-the-sheep-mo_3121577k.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The year saw the release of Aardman's sixth full-length feature: <i>Shaun the Sheep Movie</i>. It was warmly received by critics, earning 99% at <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shaun_the_sheep_movie/">Rotten Tomatoes</a>, and yet somehow failed to grab popular attention in the same way as earlier stop-motion features from the studio. Possibly <i>Shaun the Sheep</i>'s reputation as being aimed squarely at the younger set led audiences to conflate the film with the various direct-to-DVD features based on various pre-school series (such as <i>Thomas & Friends: Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure</i>, another release from 2015).<br />

Animate Projects continued to do a valiant job of championing experimental animation, even in the face of Arts Council cuts. 2015 saw the creation of susan pui san lok's <a href="http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_project/solo_commissions/roch_fans_legends"><i>RoCH Fans & Legends</i> series</a> and Noriko Okaku's <i><a href="http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_date/2015/the_interpreter">The Interpreter</a></i>.<br />

<br />
A 2012 episode of the CBBC series <i>OOglies</i>, about stop-motion food, became an unlikely subject of controversy in 2015 due to some comical violence - in particular, a boiled egg being "scalped" by a slice of toast. "Kids could think extreme violence like beheading is normal", complained one mother from Tooting. The scene in question was clearly meant as a send-up of martial arts and samurai films, but this did not stop the Daily Mail (a paper known for <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3352160/Mother-s-fury-CBBC-cartoon-OOglies-shows-toast-solider-stage-ISIS-style-egg-beheading-grape-used-grenade.html">advocating violence in comics</a>) from going with the more provocative headline of "<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3352160/Mother-s-fury-CBBC-cartoon-OOglies-shows-toast-solider-stage-ISIS-style-egg-beheading-grape-used-grenade.html">Mother's fury after CBBC cartoon OOglies shows toast soldier staging an ISIS-style beheading of a boiled egg</a>".<br />

On an unhappy note, the Bradford Animation Festival - the UK's biggest animation festival - did not take place in 2015 and its future is still uncertain. Early reports suggested that the 2015 edition of the festival would go ahead despite the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-28451783">cancellation of the Bradford International Film Festival</a>, but alas, this turned out to be incorrect.<br />

Barrie Ingham's career as an actor took him from Britain to America; it is fitting, then, that he made his mark on animation with a decidedly transatlantic role: he voiced the title character of Disney's Sherlock Holmes pastiche <i>The Great Mouse Detective</i>. He passed away on 23 January, aged 82.<br />

Christopher Lee was an actor who will need little introduction, making his name in multiple classic horror films before becoming an icon to a whole new generation thanks to his villainous roles in the <i>Star Wars</i> and <i>Lord of the Rings</i> series. Less well-known are his multiple contributions to animation: his sonorous tones can be heard in <i>The Last Unicorn</i>, <i>Nutcracker Fantasy</i>, Raul Garcia's <i><a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/animation-director-raul-garcia-remembers-christopher-lee-114314.html">The Fall of the House of Usher</a></i>, Bevanfield's <i><a href="http://ukanimation.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/beauty-and-beast-and-aladdin-no-not.html">Beauty and the Beast</a></i>, <i>Clone Wars</i>, <i>Corpse Bride </i>and Cosgrove Hall's <i>Discworld</i> adaptations (in which, naturally, he voiced Death).

Ron Moody will be forever remembered as Fagin in <i>Oliver!</i> but when it comes to his vast career, this character was just the tip of the iceberg. As far as animation is concerned, he can be heard in <i>The Telebugs</i>, <i>Noah's Island </i>and <i>The Animals of Farthing Wood</i>, in addition to voicing the crooked soothsayer Prolix in the English dub of <i>Asterix and the Big Fight</i> (IMDB incorrectly claims that he voiced the same character in <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061369/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_64">Asterix the Gaul</a></i>).

<br />
In the world of British animation, the highest-profile release this year was a primarily live-action film: <i>Paddington</i>. Although initially treated with scepticism (the first stills <a href="http://creepypaddington.tumblr.com/">inspired a "creepy Paddington" meme</a>) the finished film was given a glowing <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/paddington_2014/">98% at Rotten Tomatoes</a>. London-based Framestore was tasked with looking after the bear.<br />

<br />
Another character familiar from 1980s stop motion fit the big screen this year. Postman Pat: The Movie saw a CGI version of the character competing on a talent show and facing off against an army of evil robot postmen. Pat possibly wasn't feeling a really happy man after the film's <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/postman_pat_the_movie/">decidedly lukewarm reviews</a>.<br />

<br />
The most bizarre homage to classic UK animation this year occurred not on the big screen or in stamp collections, but as part of a political debate on Twitter. One of UKIP's MEPs was <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/dec/06/ukip-mep-ridiculed-twitter-call-ban-spoof-trumpton-account">outraged</a> to find a Twitter account purporting to be the official mouthpiece of UKIP Trumpton, and called for his followers to report this fraudulent account. It should go without saying that this was not a genuine Twitter account, as Trumpton is an entirely fictional town from the stop-motion Gordon Murray series of the same name. Mike Dicks was responsible for creating the <a href="https://twitter.com/trumpton_ukip">spoof account</a>, which also spread onto <a href="https://t.co/XQ5MS4l6fU">Facebook</a> somewhere down the line.<br />

<br />
Jimmy T. Murakami was one of animation's great globetrotters. Born in the United States, Murakami's career took him across Japan, Britain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Ireland. While working in the UK he directed the BAFTA-winning short <i>Insects</i> and the Raymond Briggs adaptation <i>When the Wind Blows</i>, as well as working on <i>The Snowman</i> and <i>Heavy Metal</i>.

Anthony Marriott was a writer whose best known work was the play <i>No Sex Please: We're British</i>, which he co-wrote with Alistair Foot and helped to adapt for the big screen; it is one of those works with a title that shall live on forever. His other works include several episodes of the Gerry Anderson puppet series <i>Fireball XL5</i>. He died on April 17, aged 83.<br />

<br />
Whether he was playing a Cockney or a New Yorker, Bob Hoskins was a familiar face on our screens for many years. His involvement with British animation involve voicing Teddy in <i>The Forgotten Toys</i>, starring alongside Richard Williams-animated characters in <i>Who Framed Roger Rabbit</i>, and performing in the live action <i>Super Mario Bros</i>. film (directed by animators Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton). He died on April 29, aged 71.<br />

<br />
Rik Mayall will forever be remembered for larger-than-life roles in <i>The Young Ones</i> and <i>Bottom</i> that made him seem like a character even while appearing in live action. He was no stranger to animation, however: his vocie credits include Prince Froglip in<i> The Princess and the Goblin</i>, Tom Thumb in <i>The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends</i>, the Robber King in Martin Gates' <i>The Snow Queen</i>, Mr Toad in TVC's<i> The Wind in The Willows </i>and<i> The Willow</i>s in Winter, the animals in <i>Tom and Vicky</i>, Kehaar in the <i>Watership Down</i> television series, Gerard the Gormless in the English dub of <i>A Monkey's Tale</i>, the narrator in <i>Jellikins</i>, Edwin the Eagle in<i> Shoebox Zoo</i>, Cufflingk in <i>Valiant</i>, the title character in <i>King Arthur's Disasters</i>, the Dwarfs in the English version of <i>Snow White: The Sequel</i> and President Pinky in <i>The Itch of the Golden Nit</i>; he even guest starred in in episode of <i>Spongebob Squarepants</i>.

A national treasure for his many varied contributions to British cinema as actor, director and patron, Richard Attenborough needs little introduction. In terms of animation he voiced the grandfather in the stop-motion series <i>Tom & Vicky</i>, and also provided voice work in the video games <i>Trespasser</i> and <i>The Lost World: Jurassic Park - Chaos Island</i>.

Warren Clarke had roles in many live action productions over the years,<i> Dalziel and Pascoe</i> and <i>A Clockwork Orange</i> being the best known. In this decade he became known to a much younger generation of viewers by voicing the character of Speedy McAllister in<i> Chuggington</i>; he also had a voice role in Peter Baynton's 2010 short <i><a href="http://vimeo.com/26276505">Save Our Bacon</a></i>.

<br />
I first came across the animation of Thalma Goldman-Cohen while researching for <a href="http://ukanimation.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/following-up-on-gifford-1970s.html">this post</a>, but I still know very little about her. I know that she made a few shorts in the seventies entitled <i>Green Man Yellow Woman</i>, <i>Amateur Night</i>, <i>Night Call </i>and Stanley, the last of which is available online <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgnTey_g774">here</a>, but beyond that I found out very little.<br />
<br />
So I am pleased to announce that a book about her life and work is underway. Edited by her personal friends Richard Hallam and Sylvie Venet-Tupy, <i>Thalma: An Artist's Life </i>will hopefully bring more attention to this oft-neglected animator.<br />
<br />
If you want to help the project to get off the ground, please pay a visit to the book's <a href="http://www.sponsume.com/project/thalma-artists-life">Sponsume page</a> where you can make a donation towards printing costs.<br />
<br />
<i><b>From the page:</b></i><br />
<br />
Thalma produced her award-winning animation films in the 1970s and 80s and showed them in festivals at Annecy, Melbourne, Cambridge, Berlin, Ottawa, and Lucca. Her film <i>Stanley</i> (1979) was described as “Just about the most erotic thing I have seen on television” (<i>Sunday Times</i>, 17 February 1980) but the <i>Monthly Film Bulletin</i> (1977, 44, no 513) described <i>Amateur Night</i> (1975), an earlier film, as ‘misogynistic’ and ‘sadly devoid of both grace and charm’. Look at the first clip on our video and decide for yourself. Some films were featured on Channel Four television, which was actively promoting animated films at the time.<br />
<br />
Thalma came to London in the late 1960s and studied at St Martin’s School of Art and the London Film School. Animation was then a cottage industry despite some notable successes such as <i>Yellow Submarine</i>. Animators had to draw and colour each cel separately, each one an artwork in itself. Thalma became friendly with outstanding exponents of the medium such as Bob Godfrey, Alison de Vere and Bill Sewell. Her work evokes admiration and shock in equal measure.<br />
<br />
Thalma has continued to draw and paint in a style that is unmistakably her own. Her subjects are often the friends she knows or the people she meets in her local area of North London, in pubs and betting shops. It is time for her work to be celebrated and this high quality full colour retrospective of her work aims to give her the full credit it deserves. Her long-standing friends will be editing the book – Richard and Sylvie. The book will draw upon the reminiscences and insights of Thalma’s collaborators, who were part of this exciting period of experimentation in the arts.<br />
<br />
WHAT WILL BE IN THE BOOK?<br />
We are using a specialist arts printer to produce a full colour, illustrated book with at least 40 images of some of her original cels and examples of recent paintings and drawings. The more money we collect, the more images we can reproduce. There will be commentary from many of her collaborators and from others who know her work well. Tributes of this kind are not commercial undertakings but we aim to cover the costs of production. We hope that it will enable Thalma’s art to be more widely and deservedly known.<br />
<br />
WAYS YOU CAN HELP<br />
If you are unable to donate money (see opposite) you can still help us out by spreading the word: please tell your friends, email or tweet the link to Sponsume to anyone who might be interested.<br />

<br />
Well, after running this blog since 2009 and trying to keep up a quota of posts for each month, I think it's time to wind things down. I still hope to update it now and again if I come up with anything relevant - maybe the occasional interview, and an annual year-in-review post like that one below - but beyond that, I'm off to pastures new.<br />
<br />
After more than four years of focusing on British animation, I decided to get cracking on a different geographical area. I mulled over the candidates - so much of the world's animation is completely undocumented in the Anglosphere - and eventually decided on the Middle East, a cluster of countries whose animation histories are ripe for exploration.<br />
<br />
I currently know next to nothing about animation from any Middle Eastern country, let alone the entire region, so I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what I will uncover in running the blog. If you're curious, you can <a href="http://mideastmation.blogspot.co.uk/">take a look for yourself</a>.Neilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131557432210919940noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-13392504971991926552013-12-31T11:27:00.003-08:002014-01-12T23:58:18.408-08:00Looking back at 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another year done - we seem to be getting through this decade like nobody's business. In terms of British animation, the highlight of the year for many of us will have been the BFI's Animation Day, on which it was announced that 16 new animated projects were certified by the BFI and would take advantage of new tax reliefs. One of the most intriguing series on offer was a revival of <i>The Clangers</i>, to be headed by Peter Firmin and Daniel Postgate, the son of original writer Oliver Postgate.<br />

Sarah & Duck, Strange Hill High<i> and</i> Mouse and Mole at Christmas Time.</div>
<br />
<br />
In the field of children's television, one of the highlights of the year was Karrot Entertainment's charming <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/sarah-and-duck-tv-review-84860.html"><i>Sarah & Duck</i></a>, which I had the pleasure of reviewing for Cartoon Brew. Slightly older kids, meanwhile, were catered to by <i>Strange Hill High</i>, a British series written by <i>Simpsons</i> and <i>Futurama</i> scribe Josh Weinstein (who, somewhat unexpectedly, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22310362">revealed himself</a> to be a fan of <i>Postman Pat</i>); the series was animated at Manchester's <a href="http://Factory Transmedia">Factory Transmedia</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>Mouse and Mole</i>, the series of ten-minute shorts based on the children's books by Joyce Dunbar and James Mahew, were the subject of a 28-minute special entitled <i>Mouse and Mole at Christmas Time</i>. Meanwhile, CITV continued to adapt stories submitted by children with the <i>Share a Story</i> series, outlined at length by <a href="http://www.skwigly.co.uk/share-story-story/">Skwigly</a>.<br />

<br />
On the feature film front, 2013 saw the national release of <i>A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman</i>, a film that was shown at festivals late last year; it received <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a_liars_autobiography_the_untrue_story_of_monty_pythons_graham_chapman/">mixed reviews</a>.<br />

Saving Santa, Walking with Dinosaurs <i>and</i> Moshi Monsters.</div>
<br />
<br />
Beyond this, as far as Britain was concerned 2013 was very much a year for animated features targeted at the younger set. In November came <i>Saving Santa</i>, a US/UK film that had a limited cinema release as well as going to DVD and Blu-Ray. It features the voices of actors such as Martin Freeman, Noel Clark and Tim Curry (Curry plays a character called Neville Baddington, which sums up much of his career as a voice actor).<br />
<br />
Earlier this month the 1999 BBC documentary series <i>Walking with Dinosaurs</i> was adapted into a feature film called <i>Walking with Dinosaurs 3D</i>; another US/UK co-production, the film combines live action backdrops with CGI creatures - the latter coming courtesy of Australia's Animal Logic (<i>Happy Feet</i>, <i>Legend of the Guardians</i>). Finally, there was<i> Moshi Monsters: The Movie</i>, directed by Wip Vernooij and Morgan Francis and based on the online game. According to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3280730/companycredits?ref_=tt_dt_co">IMDB</a> it was animated at Spider Eye Productions, the studio that previously brought us the edutainment series <i>Jungle Junction</i>.<br />
<br />
Unusually, there appears to have been only one direct-to-DVD film based on a popular kids' series this year: <i>King of the Railway</i>, starring Thomas the Tank Engine.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Gergely Wootsch's </i>The Hungry Corpse<i>, Elizabeth Hobbs'</i> <a href="http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_date/2013/imperial_provisor_frombald">Imperial Provisor Frombald</a> <i>(part of Secret Monsters and Random Acts) and Kim Taylor's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Smackbear">Smack Bear</a>.</i></div>
<br />
<br />
2013 saw a number of acclaimed animated shorts, from Gergely Wootsch's <a href="http://www.thehungrycorpse.com/"><i>The Hungry Corpse</i></a> to Rok Predin's <a href="http://vimeo.com/58445885"><i>The Chase</i></a> (even Banksy <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/cartoon-culture/banksy-captures-amazing-rebel-rocket-attack-footage-89416.html">got in on the act</a>). Perhaps a special distinction should be given to Kim Taylor's <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/experimental/smack-bear-thinks-you-deserve-a-smack-89389.html"><i>Instant tentacles with this one weird trick!</i></a>, which managed to use - of all things - annoying Internet adverts as a source of creativity.<br />
<br />
This year's shorts were given a boost from two overlapping sources. Animate Projects commissioned a series of films under the theme of <a href="http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_project/group_commissions/secret_monsters">Secret Monsters</a>, while Channel 4 continued its <a href="http://randomacts.channel4.com/">Random Acts</a> strand.<br />
<br />
As an aside, in last year's overview I came down rather harshly on David Blandy's short<i> Anjin 1600</i>, which consisted almost entirely of footage lifted from two uncredited anime films. I think that pop artists should be allowed leeway in using copyrighted work - Andy Warhol's usage of a Marilyn Monroe photograph being a famous example - but in that case I think Blandy went over the line. In the interests of goodwill, then, I should mention that his second <i>Anjin 1600</i> short (sardonically titled <a href="http://www.animateprojects.org/films/by_date/2013/anjin_1600_episode_4"><i>Anjin 1600: Episode 4</i></a>) is a marked improvement. Framed as a documentary, with Blandy narrating his views on Western impressions of Japanese culture, it combines original animation with a few restrained clips of pre-existing anime footage.<br />

<i>Music videos: </i>Easy, G.O.D. <i>and </i>Winter Trees.</div>
<br />
<br />
Amongst the music videos of distinction this year were Cyriak's promo for Bonobo's "<a href="http://vimeo.com/58115286">Cirrus</a>", showing another of his hypnotic motion collages; Louis & McCourt's video for Mat Zo and Porter Robinson's "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at3FPJaAwoY">Easy</a>", which draws on anime imagery; Persistent Peril's video for The Leisure Society's "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFp1aR2YTAY">Fight for Everyone</a>", a minimalist piece; Tom Jobbins' visualisation of "<a href="http://vimeo.com/64020968">We Can Be Ghosts Now</a>" by Hiatus, which transfers a similar aesthetic to stop motion; Tom Bunker and Nicos Livesey's video for "<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2013/05/14/binary-%E2%80%98god%E2%80%99-tom-bunker-nicos-livesey">G.O.D.</a>" by Binary, am homage to early vector graphics; and finally Aardman's video for the Staves' "<a href="http://www.skwigly.co.uk/aardman-create-cg-video-for-the-staves-new-single/">Winter Trees</a>", a blending of CGI and 2D animation with a fetching wood-derived aesthetic.<br />
<br />
Looking over these videos, it is remarkable how many deal with characters escaping from mechanised urban environments...<br />

Richard
Taylor began his career at the W.M. Larkin Studio, becoming the
studio’s director of production later its executive director. At
Larkins, Taylor directed heavily stylized industrial films such as <i>Earth is a Battlefield</i> (1957) and inventive theatrical commercials including <i>Put Una Money for There</i>,

dozens of public information films and educational shorts that he made
from the Fifties to the Eighties, such as the <a href="http://ukanimation.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/charley-says.html"><i>Charley</i></a>

ensuring that his films remained entertaining while imparting their
messages within limited budgets. He passed away in December, aged 84.<br />

For a while, I was planning to write a short article on online animators from the UK - namely Jonti "Weebl" Picking, David Firth, Cyriak and Joel Veitch. I never got round to it, however, and now Nathan Wilkes of Skwigly has <a href="http://www.skwigly.co.uk/10-british-youtube-animators-watch/">pipped me to the post</a>.<br />
<br />
Nathan's article focuses on Weebl, Firth, Cyriak, Tom Ridgewell, Ben "Wonchop" Smallman, Jamie "RageNineteen" Spicer-Lewis, Harry Partridge, Lee Hardcastle, Simon Tofield and Element Animation, along with Birdbox Studio, the Brothers McLeod and White Robot. It's a good selection, one that gives an idea of the variety of work out there on the 'net.<br />
<br />
As an aside, perhaps it's just me, but "British web animation" seems like almost like a self-contradiction. A large amount commercial animation is made internationally these days, of course, but with animation made for the Internet, even the audience will be international.<br />
<br />
As far as English-language work goes, just how relevant is nationality when discussing web animation...?Neilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131557432210919940noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-53888208420711697882013-12-28T06:04:00.000-08:002013-12-28T06:04:07.143-08:0090s adverts: Ribena, Tetley and Vitalite<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />A look back at a few of the characters from advertising campaigns gone by; I believe that all of these adverts are from the nineties. First off, the Ribena blackcurrants (I found surprisingly little coverage of these characters online, you know) introduce us to new, non-blackcurrant flavours.<br />

Next we have the best-known of Wyatt-Cattaneo's creations: the Tetley Tea Folk. This advert is designed to promote the new development of circular tea bags by showing us how square tea bags merely lead to a harsh, angular dystopia.<br />

<br />
In 1984 Rocky Morton and Anabel Jankel of Cucumber Studios - at the time known for their music videos, and later as the creators of Max Headroom - contributed to a spectacularly eighties romcom entitled <i>Electric Dreams</i>. The sequence in question sees a sentient computer dreaming of preventing an earthquake - trust me, it makes sense in context...<br />
<br />
Themed around contemporary computer graphics, but made primarily through analogue animation, the sequence is an example of the pseudo-CGI phenomenon that I wrote about <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/max-headroom-and-the-strange-world-of-pseudo-cgi-82745.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Chris Sobieniak for bringing this one to my attention. <br />

<br />
<br />
Here we have the final feature film to which Ray Harryhausen lent his animation: 1981's <i>Clash of the Titans</i>. This time, his creations were a giant vulture, the satyr-like Calibos, Pegasus, some giant scorpions, the mechanical owl Bubo, the two-headed dog Dioskilos, Medusa, and the giant Kraken.<br />
<br />
Harryhausen's films have sometimes been criticised for using their monsters as set-pieces rather than integral parts of their narratives, but <i>Clash of the Titans</i> goes some way to avoid this flaw: the animated creatures include two of the heroe's sidekicks (Bubo and Pegasus) along with the main villain, Calibos. However, it is worth mentioning that all three are portrayed in close up using live action - a real horse for Pegasus, a puppet for Bubo and an actor in make-up for Calibos.<br />

<br />
The film also includes this brief sequence, where an animated shadow shows Calibos' transformation from man to monster. I'm not entirely sure if Harryhausen was responsible for thies piece of animation.<br />

A couple more adverts. Here's an early 90s Boots advert featuring Raymond Briggs' interpretation of Father Christmas.<br />

Next, this Babycham commercial. I debated with myself whether it was worth posting, given the poor quality of the print I own, but since the entire thing is bathed in a 1980s neon glow I have to wonder whether it ever looked any cleaner.<br />
<br />
The deer from the Babycham logo comes to life in the middle of a party, creates a romantic companion for the moon, and then conjures up a flying saucer so that a bunch of aliens can join the party. At the end, the deer flies off into space while a woman with a high-pitched voice tells us that nothing sparkles, nothing sparkles, nothing sparkles like a Babycham.<br />

A couple of adverts from the turn of the century...<br />
<br />
The first is this rotoscoped 1999 Natwest ad, set to the theme from <i>The Littlest Hobo</i>.<br />

Next is this 2000 advert for the National Dairy Council. It was one of (I believe) three adverts made as part of a <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/dec/06/advertising3">campaign</a> that used celebrities as characters; in this case, boxers Prince Naseem and Chris Eubank were lampooned.<br />

<br />
1977 brought with it Ray Harryhausen's penultimate feature, and the last in his trilogy of Sinbad films: <i>Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger</i>.<br />
<br />
The creatures on offer this time are a baboon (who turns out to be a prince under a curse), a mechanical "Minoton", three insect-like monsters, a large hornet, a giant walrus (surely a singularity in the annals of cinema?) a caveman-like "Troglodyte" and, finally, a giant sabre-toothed tiger.<br />
<br />
The baboon is worth a special mention, being one of the few instances where a Harryhausen creation can be counted amongst the main characters of a film.<br />
<br />

I have a few dim memories of my own fourth birthday (I definitely recall drinking limeade out of a Yogi Bear mug, for one thing) and now it is my blog that has reached that ripe old age. Was it really back in 2009 that I started running it...? <br />
<br />
Once again, I've decided to mark the day by taking a look at my stats. For the last couple of years, the top search term was "Cosgrove Hall"; that has now slid down to third place, with "Animaland David Hand" and "Jet Force Gemini" dislodging it from the top spot. Fourth place, funnily enough, is "Xenu".<br />

Here's a little something for Halloween...<br />
<br />
Last month I posted about Hammer's <a href="http://ukanimation.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/ray-harryhausen-in-uk-one-million-years.html">best-known usage of stop motion</a>. What is less well known is that the studio also dallied with drawn animation... albeit very, very briefly.<br />
<br />
The climax of Hammer's 1963 film <i>The Kiss of the Vampire</i> sees a flock of bats attacking a castle. Although most of the sequences uses model bats, the very first shot was achieved with animation. The background is related in Wayne Kinsey's book <i>Hammer Films: The Bray Studio Years</i>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Of course, the most memorable sequence in the film is the climax, when Professor Zimmer conjures up the horde of bats to attack Ravna's minions. This task befell Les Bowie and his team of special effects wizards. The scene opens with an animated swarm of bats descending on the castle. Among initial ideas to capture this scene was to film burning paper as its black wisps spiralled up into the air. In the end they settled for cartoon animation. Ian Scoones remembers, "The job was farmed out to a guy called Pearce. Alan Tavner, who ran an optical company in Slough, suggested it to Les."</blockquote>

In the eighties, the Richard Williams studio made a series of <a href="http://ukanimation.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/eighties-richard-williams-studio.html">anti-smoking public information films</a> starring Superman. Now, a Superman short has once again been animated in London - this time, by <a href="http://www.goldenwolf.tv/">Golden Wolf</a>. Celebrating the character's 75th anniversary, the <a href="http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/10/14/superman-75-years-of-heroic-history-in-a-2-minute-animated-short-exclusive/">short</a> was conceived and directed by Bruce Timm and Zack Snyder.<br />

This was not the first time Golden Wolf animated DC's characters - earlier this year, the company put together <a href="http://www.goldenwolf.tv/project/save-the-day-with-the-justice-league">a Target advert</a> featuring the Justice League.<br />

A couple of late 1980s kids' TV sequences which should bring back memories for readers of a certain generation...<br />
<br />
First off, the opening to the <i>Dungeons and Dragons</i>-esque game show <i>Knightmare</i>. The sequence was animated by Siriol, the studio behind <i>Superted</i>. Some of the original drawings can be seen <a href="http://www.knightmare.com/behind/unseen/1023-original-title-drawings">here</a>.<br />

<br />
The BBC website recently had an article about <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24429892"><i>Danger Mouse</i></a>, focusing on the level of popularity which it reached during its heyday; it was posted to tie in with a radio programme entitled <i>Crikey DM! David Jason's Tribute to Cosgrove Hall</i>.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, a revival of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's <i>The Clangers</i> has <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/the-clangers-will-come-back-in-2015-89763.html">been announced</a>; it will be written by Postgate's son Daniel and will premiere in 2015. It will be stop motion, like the original, but another stop motion series - <i>The Wombles</i> - is set to be revived in CGI the same year.<br />
<br />
<i>The Clangers</i>, <i>The Wombles</i> and <i>Danger Mouse</i> belong to a cluster of animated series, reaching from the late sixties to the early eighties, which seem to be targets of regular waves of nostalgia. I remember a similar boom in the early 2000s, with clip shows such as <i>100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows</i> on television and Bagpusses on car dashboards. Now, another wave appears to be hitting our shores - and these children's series have shown themselves to be cemented in the popular consciousness.Neilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131557432210919940noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-62805575551335098392013-09-30T11:38:00.000-07:002013-09-30T11:38:15.935-07:00Ray Harryhausen in the UK: The Valley of Gwangi<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Harryhausen's last film of the sixties: the 1969 film <i>The Valley of Gwangi</i>. Another dinosaur film, the creatures on show are a tiny dawn horse, a pteranodon, a ornithomimus, a triceratops-like dinosaur, the tyrannosaurus Gwangi and - somewhat unexpectedly - an elephant.<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yCh9AfDohkQ/Ukho6EWfpBI/AAAAAAAAP64/DplwDdFOdMY/s1600/gerryanderson.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yCh9AfDohkQ/Ukho6EWfpBI/AAAAAAAAP64/DplwDdFOdMY/s320/gerryanderson.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If we look at the major cartoon fads of the past few decades, we find that most of them are in the action adventure genre: think of <i>He-Man</i>, <i>Transformers</i>, <i>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</i>, <i>Pokémon</i>, and<i> Ben 10</i>, for a start. With a handful of exceptions Britain simply does not make cartoons of this type, and the void left by this genre is instead occupied by the puppet series of Gerry Anderson.<br />
<br />
Anderson's curious practise of using string puppets to tell stories of dashing action heroes came about by accident. He entered the industry with a desire to make all-action blockbusters, but was instead commissioned to make puppet shows for children.<br />
<br />
Eventually, he was given the chance to make a live action series, <i>UFO</i>, which started in 1970. That was the end of his "Supermarionation" line, which had lasted from <i>Four Feather Falls</i> in 1960 to <i>The Secret Service</i> in 1969, although Anderson did return to puppets for the "Supermacronation" series <i>Terrahawks</i> and the two stop motion series <i>Dick Spanner, P.I. </i>and <i>Lavender Castle</i>.<br />
<br />
The core Supermarionation series - <i>Stingray</i>, <i>Thunderbirds</i> and <i>Captain Scarlet </i>- are an odd phenomenon. They just never went away. I remember them being rerun in the early nineties, with the toys once again going on the market; a similar revival occurred in the early 2000s, and perhaps there is another waiting in the wings.<br />
<br />
<br />

<i>The CGI</i> Captain Scarlet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
It is not unusual for children's franchises to be periodically revived: <i>Transformers </i>and<i> Ninja Turtles</i> are routinely brought out of retirement, for example. But in those cases each revival is spearheaded by a new cartoon series with redesigned characters; with Anderson's Supermarionation it is the <i>original </i>series which are regularly dusted off for a new generation. Although a live action <i>Thunderbird</i>s film was released in 2004 to a lukewarm reception, and Anderson himself oversaw a CGI remake of <i>Captain Scarlet</i> the following year, the sixties series have by and large been left alone rather than reinvented.<br />
<br />
Another curiosity is that, while the Supermarionation technique is well-known throughout Britain, Anderson has seen few imitators in his own country. The only examples of Anderson-derived puppetry from the UK which I can think of are <i>Space Patrol</i>, a series made in the early sixties by former Anderson associate Roberta Leigh; and <i>Jackboots on Whitehall</i>, a 2010 feature which seemed to owe more to <i>Team America: World Police</i>.<br />
<br />

Interster<i>: Andersonian adventures from South Africa.</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
To find productions which worked with techniques developed by Gerry Anderson, we will have to look elseehere in the world. The USA gave us the aforementioned <i>Team America </i>and the 1998 series <i>Super Adventure Team</i>, both parodies, while South Africa produced Interster in the seventies and eighties.<br />
<br />
One country which definitely seems to have takenn Supermarionation to heart, however, is Japan: <i>X-Bomber</i> (dubbed into English as <i>Star Fleet</i>) even called its technique "Sūpāmariorama". However, I suspect that - to some degree, at least - these series developed independently to Gerry Anderson's work. An early example, Osamu Tezuka's <i>Ginga Shonen Tai</i>, premiered in 1963; I have no idea if any of Anderson's series had reached Japan by that time.<br />
<br />
Anderson passed away last December, but the worlds which he created live on. <i>Thunderbirds</i> is set to be revived in 2015 for a new series which will combine CGI characters with model backgrounds.<br />
<br />
Lacking the historical significance and raw nostalgic appeal of the original series, will the resurrected <i>Thunderbirds</i> catch on? Today's children seem to prefer wide-eyed youth still grappling to understand the world, like Harry Potter; comical, eccentric protagonists like Doctor Who; or grim, violent anti-heroes like Batman. Anderson's leads were generally straight-laced individuals, who seldom questioned orders and instead got on with things with upper lips thoroughly rigid.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, if Anderson's characters are being converted into CGI and live action, then perhaps it is time that we see his puppetry techniques put to use elsewhere. Perhaps somebody could attempt a Supermarionation horror short? Those puppets tend to be a little creepy at the best of times, after all, and are ripe for Svankmajeresque reinvention. <br />
<br />
I wish the crew behind the CGI <i>Thunderbirds</i> the best of luck, but I would also like to see more work which explores the potential of the Supermarionation process and its derivatives. There's life in those marionettes yet.Neilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01131557432210919940noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-72518174624874059382013-09-27T12:53:00.002-07:002013-09-27T13:00:15.681-07:00Ray Harryhausen in the UK: One Million Years B.C.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Ray Harryhausen teamed up with that bastion of British fantasy films, Hammer, to create the 1966 picture <i>One Million Years B.C</i>. It remains almost certainly the best-remembered of the films he worked on while in the UK.<br />
<br />
The creatures he brought to life for this film were a brontosaurus, archelon, allosaurus, triceratops, tyrannosaurus and two pterosaurs.<br />
