Breakdowns of Rocky and Bullwinkle would be great. I think Jay Ward studios is one of the many over looked studios of "modern" cartoons. I would definitely get great use from it.

Hi there, john..sadly, my untrained eye can't actually see which are the differences between the previous episode and this one. I can't tell why this drawing: http://bp0.blogger.com/_mJ4lc_Q9Q6k/R9Xc7Od1TJI/AAAAAAAAMqE/yeGyJUVVVQ8/s1600-h/rocky2ndep27.jpgis best than this one:http://bp2.blogger.com/_mJ4lc_Q9Q6k/R9nL0ud1UXI/AAAAAAAAM0Q/SWEMvPvl_IY/s1600-h/badBorisNatash3.jpgIf you could break the

I wonder if the change in drawing quality during R&B's first season represented turnover at the animation studio. I understand this was a startup studio in a city without much of an animation industry. The artists on the first few episodes may have been the better cartoonists, but weren't able to keep up with the production schedule. They might have been replaced by lesser artists who were able

Well! These posts sure opened up a can'o'beans. Say, JohnK- one other little segment to look at before you retire the seas. one DVD in boredom-- in Show 16, the Dudley Do-Right episode "Stokey The Bear" is pretty amusing, it was banned immediately after broadcast for reasons obvious upon watching. I'm glad someone mentioned the laugh tracks in the early shows--I'd forgotten about those, no wonder

Yeah, this is the problem with outsourcing when you don't have proper supervision. You can get some episodes that okay and some that look downright awful.Consistency is very important. Unfortunately, these early Rockys didn't have the budget for consistency let alone retakes.At least today with outsourcing you have a big enough budget to have slick animation and can afford some retakes if

I'm not sure, John. Many of the framegrabs do not look that bad (except for Natasha. She's horribly drawn in these framegrabs. Borris has simply been toned down.), does it? Plus, the inking has improved in terms of slickness.

John, on another off-shot topic all together, you should try to acquire control of Woodbury University's animation department. Revitalize that place, for many of what I feel, are some good prospects.1) Relatively close to the industry that many prospective students want to be apart of2) Private, therefore easier to make executive changes with much bureaucracy. 3)Woodbury now has a more formal

I hate to say it, but I wasn't a big Bullwinkle fan as a kid. I was much more into Underdog & Tennessee Tuxedo. I mainly watched R&B for Fractured Fairytales.

If you make a post on the good aspects of R&B drawings I will definitely appreciate that because I am really interested in using humor in drawings by distorting body parts such as a small person with big feet.

Yes. I want to understand the art of layout! I can definitely see a difference between the drawings of your 2 posts. But beyond that, I'm clueless. It's not the most popular topic in animation books, even if it should be.
