    Godzilla

    I mostly looked into this because of the new movie but ended up having a lot of fun. If anyone knows the best way to watch all these old movies let me know. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Server I ended up having to many links for my sources so here is a link to the script. It has links to all of my sources at the end of it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QaFQqf38nn3BOgamRXpDb20cZR95xreQqxu7nL8TxLQ/edit?usp=sharing

    The Simpsons

    It is amazing that this show is still going.

    Oswald the lucky rabbit

    I think Oswald shows how creators need to be careful with the deals they make. The last thing that any one wants is to lose their creation. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Server https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbit https://silentfilm.org/oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-1927-1928/ https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/02/disney100-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-collection-now-live-on-shopdisney-and-at-disney-parks/ https://oswaldtheluckyrabbit.fandom.com/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbit https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-stars-in-a-new-walt-disney-animation-studios-short-for-disney-100-years-of-wonder/ https://www.chasingdreamswithmike.com/blogs/chasing-dreams-with-mike-1/the-drama-and-the-history-of-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit https://www.polygon.com/23487855/disney-animation-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-new-short https://www.laco.org/the-birth-of-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit/ https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/12750497/how-espn-traded-al-michaels-oswald-rabbit

    John Whitney the father of CGI

    I feel like he is a bit different then most of the other people I have covered. Still really interesting. Not many people can claim they changed a machine of war to one of art. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Server https://brightlightsfilm.com/vicious-circle-john-whitney-and-the-military-origins-of-early-cgi/ http://siggrapharts.hosting.acm.org/wp/john-whitney/other/motion-graphics/ https://handmadecinema.com/filmmaker/john-whitney/ http://dada.compart-bremen.de/item/agent/403 https://www.vice.com/en/article/jpd4ky/original-creators-visionary-computer-animator-john-whitney-sr https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?entryid=4011 https://www.stikkymedia.com/history-of-cgi-in-movies/ https://worldart.news/2023/01/23/brief-history-of-digital-art/ https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Kerrison_Predictor https://computer-arts-society.com/casarchive/computerartsthesis/index117.html https://dam.org/museum/artists_ui/artists/whitney-sr-john/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1124970/

    12 principles of animation

    The best way to look more into these would be to buy the book but if you can't afford to there are plenty of places online that give their own explanations. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Server https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/12-principles-of-animation/ https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/animation/discover/principles-of-animation.html https://d23.com/a-to-z/nine-old-men/ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Disney%27s_Nine_Old_Men https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106731.The_Illusion_of_Life

    Don Bluth

    A lot of his work didn't make a lot of money at the box office but it is all amazing and I do recommend all of it. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Server http://www.donbluthstudios.com/?fbclid=IwAR2IPiyudFJWJscivx1wXhKZRN6I_t9GpRDPPJr8KLB9eF2dyPZFsu_s9k0 https://www.cartoonbrew.com/video-essay/disney-don-bluth-animation-war-video-218414.html http://www.cataroo.com/DBbio.html https://videolibrarian.com/articles/essays/don-bluth-the-man-who-challenged-the-mouse/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0089940/bio/ https://www.donbluthanimation.com/about.htm https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-08-21/don-bluth-career-secret-of-nimh-anastasia-disney
