Task 2- Two famous Animators

Walt Disney 

Walter Disney was famous for making Walt Disney. He was the co-owner of Walt Disney with his brother Roy. Beginning his career Walt Disney animated a few movies in 1922 which were Cinderella , Puss in Boots, Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Four Musicians of Bremen. The next lot of movies that Walt Disney animated was in 1924 these consisted of 1924 Alice Hunting in Africa, Alice and the Dog Catcher, Alice's Fishy Story, Alice's Wild West Show, Alice's Spooky Adventure and Alice's Day at Sea. He then animated a movie in 1927 which was called Trolley Troubles and then in 1935 he animated Servants' Entrance.

Most of Walt Disney's movies that he animated were short movies. His work has had  a huge impact on animation because he was the first animator to make an animation with sound on Steamboat Willie. Also because most of his work has influenced different ways to show the classic animations. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves not only was is the first featured length animation to have sound it also was the first featured length animation to use colour throughout.

Tim Burton

Tim Burton began as an apprentice animator at Walt Disney Studios in 1980. One of the first films that he animated was called Stalk of the Celery Monster which was made in1978. The second film he animated was the Fox and the Hound in 1979. In 1982 he animated a movie called Vincent, in which payed homage of his childhood idol. In 1982 he made Luau also in 1982 he animated TRON.

Most of his films that he animated was either for a TV series or a short film. Tim Burton's animations has had an impact on animation because he focuses his work on a darker perspective instead of a lighter point of view this is shown through his shows like Coraline, Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Vincent. Looking at these examples all of them are shown as a dark fantasy. He also mostly uses Stop-motion animation for the majority of his works.

The significance of the work that the two key animators from different time periods have a quite similar approach this is because they have both done quite a few short movies.
