Make Halloween Animatronics - Get Started building Your Own curious Props

Posted Monday, September 30, 2013 by Unknown

You've seen those fun, fascinating characters that move, wave, jump, and scare the heck out of you in haunted houses at Halloween. Those are called animatronics, and sometimes called mechatronics. Many are very sophisticated and difficult to build, but many are very easy. In this report we'll offer some tips on how you can get started with straightforward projects.

Tip 1 - Don't be overwhelmed by those complex animatronics props you see in professional haunted houses. Some day you may want to build those, but for now, start small. The first thing you might want to do is inspect some animatronics in action. A great way to do this is to keep your eyes open whenever you go to the grocery store, hardware store, or craft store. Watch for any fascinating displays. If you stay alert, you will often see rotating signs advertising in-store specials. They're regularly cardboard signs attached to a motor that is powered by a join of small batteries. Look inside of them. Go nearby back and see how they are assembled. A goldmine for checking out fascinating objects is any store that sets up holiday displays. Study those displays and you will learn a lot. You will see that most of them control with very straightforward motors and levers.

Tip 2 - Learn about straightforward levers. You will be amazed at how easy and fun it is to make objects move with basic levers. They are one of the most leading ingredients in practically all animatronics and mechatronics.

Tip 3 - Read about animatronics. Your local library and the internet are great resources. Quest for terms like animatronics, mechatronics, and robots.  

Tip 4 - Go online or to your local hobby store and buy basic hobby kits that consist of gears, motors, and other animatronics. Not only will you learn a lot, but you will have great fun!

Mummies Make excellent Monsters for Haunted Houses or Home Haunts

Posted Sunday, September 29, 2013 by Unknown

Mummies are underrated monsters and do not get the reputation they deserve. That creepy creature from old Egypt wrapped in dusty bandages captures our imagination. I suggest trying a mummy theme if you own a haunted house or if you turn your own home and carport into a haunt. The collective will love your haunt and tell their friends and house about "that awesome mummy haunted house."

Mummies are odd movie monsters and haunted house creatures to me but ones that authentically should be used more often. The collective likes mummies as shown by many mummy movies throughout film history. Also, mummies' ties to old times make them more provocative than uncomplicated haunted house actors with fake hammers and kitchen knives.

Animated Halloween Props

A mummy as a movie monster was first introduced to movie-goers in The Universal Studios' film The Mummy (1932). It starred Boris Karloff. He played Prince Im-Ho-Tep, an old Egyptian who was mummified and comes back to life in modern times. The provocative thing about the film is Karloff is only seen bandaged as a mummy briefly when he returns to life. He looks like an older man throughout the rest of the movie. But, the film brought the understanding of the mummy as a nightmare monster to life. And he kept advent back like all good monsters do.

Mummies Make excellent Monsters for Haunted Houses or Home Haunts

Universal Studios made many more Mummy films and Hammer Film Productions started their own Mummy series of movies. Hammer's first Mummy film, The Mummy, starred Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It was in color, which was provocative to fans in 1959 when it was released. This time around, the Mummy is named Kharis and not Im-Ho-Tep. Of course, the Mummy came to life again in the more recent series of Mummy films starring Brendan Fraser. No doubt, population are primed for a mummy-themed haunt.

There is another benefit to creating a mummy-themed haunt besides the popularity of mummy films. With a mummy theme you can have consistency in your haunted house. Picture it, Egyptian symbols throughout the haunt, actors dressed in bandages, mummy hand props scattered throughout the haunt, and lifelike snake props slithering about. Also, you can decorate your haunted house with many Egyptian sarcophagi. A sarcophagus was a type of coffin in old Egypt - a excellent adornment for your haunt.

Yes, filling a haunted house with sarcophagi would be helpful to haunted house owners and scary to patrons. Like coffins, sarcophagi are excellent places for actors to hide and leap out at customers as they gait straight through the haunt. A excellent way to set up an Egyptian-themed haunt is to line an entire room of the haunted house with many sarcophagi. Place dummies in some coffins. Place real actors dressed as mummies in other coffins. I certify you will get good startles and screams from your patrons when the real actors jump out. population will love your haunted attraction and visiting it will make Halloween memorable for many customers!

I hope this article has given you some new ideas for your haunted attraction. Again, I encourage you to try a mummy theme. The Mummy films have the collective primed for a "mummy" haunt and just the décor itself would be eerily amazing.

The Top 10 Best bad dream Movie Monsters

Posted by Unknown

Let us cut right to the chase...or right to the screaming as many of the folks on this list would prefer! Not only am I married to a top home haunter, I have been a big fan of horror movies (also called monster movies) for years. In my experience, as a fan of the genre, here are my top ten monsters of all time!

10. Kraken (1981)

Animated Halloween Props

From the 1981 Clash of the Titans, this is a vertebrate that stirs the imagination. Although the Kraken is a vertebrate of myth, it is the film version that every person remembers. Who could forget the end scene of the traditional Clash of the Titans where the Kraken comes for Andromeda? (What he wanted her for is not clear to me. Did he plan to eat her? ask her to go for a swim?) At any rate, the Kraken was brought to life by the stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, a legend in horror and fantasy movies. The image of Perseus turning the Kraken to stone is superior and so is this multi-armed monster in this writer's opinion.

The Top 10 Best bad dream Movie Monsters

9. vertebrate From the Black Lagoon (all versions)

There have been many movies about terrific sea creatures, but vertebrate From the Black Lagoon is still the best. (Sorry, Jaws!) Released in 1954, it features a monster-like gill-man discovered on an expedition in the Amazon. Like many preponderant monsters of the silver screen, the vertebrate spawned sequels. The traditional vertebrate of the Black Lagoon movie is being remade for a 2011 release, agreeing to the Imdb Web site.

8. Mummy (Boris Karloff)

Boris Karloff makes his first appearance on our list! The Mummy, directed by Karl Freund, is a 1932 horror film from Universal Studios. It starred Karloff as a revived antique Egyptian minister called Imhotep. While the movie is not a drop-dead scare fest, it is a superior that is in the communal memory of our society. When population think of mummies, they invariably think of Karloff shuffling out of his sarcophagus in bandages. The Mummy was semi-remade in The Mummy's Hand (1940) but it was Karloff's version that began the Mummy movies.

7. Michael Myers (all versions)

Michael Myers is the one who started the slasher genre. He first showed up in 1978's Halloween as a young boy who murders his older sister, and then returns home years later to kill again. His fights with Jamie Lee Curtis in the first two Halloween movies are excellent examples of how scary movie chases should work. Although, I think Michael's fights with Donald Pleasence (who played Dr. Loomis) are the best parts of the Halloween films. The only negative aspects to the Halloween movies to me are the continuity issues. For instance, Halloween Iii, although not a bad movie, has nothing to do with the other installments. Also, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later practically ignores established continuity from earlier movies with no explanation.

6. Dracula (Bela Lugosi)

Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian actor, best known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and superior Universal Studios Dracula films, too. The now superior Dracula that made Lugosi a star came out in 1931. Although the movie is a exiguous slow and not as challenging as other Universal classics, such as the Frankenstein films, Lugosi made the film work. No matter how many vampire movies are made, too, this is the most memorable. Ask anything who is Dracula and they immediately think of Bela's Dracula. His Dracula is an icon.

5. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)

Robert Englund is best known for playing serial killer Freddy Krueger in the horror on Elm street film series. agreeing to Wikipedia, he received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A horror on Elm street 3: Dream Warriors in 1987 and A horror on Elm street 4: The Dream devotee in 1988. I am not surprised. He was excellent as Freddy. The new Freddy cannot hold a candle, or dingy red sweater, to Englund. He approached playing Freddy with a blend of horror and comedy. His witty banter with his victims is the stuff of legend.

4. Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may come to be a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

When you talk about werewolves, there is none better than Lon Chaney's Wolfman in the 1941 Universal Studios movie. From the iconic makeup to the gypsy curse, it is Chaney's Wolfman that community knows best, and with good reckon - it is a darn good movie that stands the test of time.

3. Frankenstein's Monster (Boris Karloff)

Do I admittedly have to write that Boris Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster is a superior vertebrate of the cinema? The crash of thunder, the sizzling laboratory machines, the monster's hand moving-these are the images we all have embedded in our minds. No version of the Frankenstein Monster gets better than Karloff's version from the superior 1931 horror film.

2. Leatherface (all versions)

Leatherface is the main killer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. He wears masks made of his victims' skin (which is where the name Leatherface comes from) and is the character from the movie who normally carries a chainsaw. Not only is Leatherface one of the first slasher-type villains but he is drop-dead scary! While I think all versions of Leatherface are scary as heck, the best Leatherface actors were Gunnar Hansen (from the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Bill Johnson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). I still think the scene in Massacre 2 when Leatherface runs, chainsaw roaring, out of the darkened radio hub toward the lead female actor is horrifying.

1. Jason Voorhees (all versions)

Sure, Kane Hodder has played Jason more than any other actor, but I can't pick one Jason that is better than another. Each actor who played the undead slasher Jason Voorhees brought something new to the role. Jason Voorhees is the killer from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980); although, he was not the main villain in the first movie. Jason is a great character because of the iconic hockey mask, the creepy camp setting, and because you feel some condolement for him. He was a deformed child who was mocked by peers and ignored by camp counselors. He also loves his mommy. (Watch the movies and you will see what I mean.) Because he evokes condolement in the audience, he is a exiguous like Frankenstein's Monster but definitely more evil.

Sure, Kane Hodder has played Jason more than any other actor, but I can't pick one Jason that is good than another. Each actor who played the undead slasher Jason Voorhees brought something new to the role. Jason Voorhees is the killer from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980); although, he was not the main villain in the first movie. Jason is a great character because of the iconic hockey mask, the creepy camp setting, and because you feel some condolence for him. He was a deformed child who was mocked by peers and ignored by camp counselors. He also loves his mommy. (Watch the movies and you will see what I mean.) Because he evokes condolence in the audience, he is a little like Frankenstein's Monster but absolutely more evil.

Why We Celebrate Holidays

Posted Monday, September 23, 2013 by Unknown

Most of us celebrate holidays - Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day - but why?

Of course, we celebrate some holidays because of our religious beliefs. However, there are other reasons why we hold to these joyous occasions. These holidays break up the flow of the year and bind us together as families and communities.

Animated Halloween Props

We celebrate holidays because we want to have fun. We want a break from our quarterly schedules, jobs, etc. Without holidays our weeks would run together into years of humdrum mediocrity. What is October without children ringing our doorbells asking for candy? What is November without turkey on the table and family colse to it? What is February with no heart-shaped boxes adorning the kitchen counter? The answer: boring months, I say.

Why We Celebrate Holidays

We also celebrate holidays because they are reasons to reconnect with family and long lost friends. Although we can make the exertion to see family and close friends anytime, many population do not. Many population make holidays the times they reach out to other people. And not only is it important to us to feel the warmth of family, we enjoy holidays because they bring out a sense of community. The intriguing red hearts decorating agency market in February, the blinking lights strung on lamp posts in December, these help us feel linked to something larger than ourselves.

In a world where get-togethers and barbecues do not happen as much as they used to in decades past. In a world where no one borrows sugar from his or her neighbor any longer or bakes a cake when person moves on to the block, holidays tie us together.

I urge every person to not throw holidays to the side of the street. Get out and decorate your home at Christmastime. Surprise your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend with a Valentine's Day gift. And definitely have fun at Halloween. Even if you do not enjoy Halloween, I warrant the children in your neighborhood will appreciate you dressing up, putting a graveyard in your front yard and passing out candy.

Why We Celebrate Holidays

You've seen those fun, spirited characters that move, wave, jump, and scare the heck out of you in haunted houses at Halloween. Those are called animatronics, and sometimes called mechatronics.

Tip 1 - Don't be overwhelmed by those involved animatronics props you see in expert haunted houses. Some day you may want to build those, but for now, start small. The first thing you might want to do is inspect some animatronics in action. A great way to do this is to keep your eyes open whenever you go to the grocery store, hardware store, or craft store. Watch for any spirited displays. If you stay alert, you will often see rotating signs advertising in-store specials. They're normally cardboard signs attached to a motor that is powered by a consolidate of small batteries. Look inside of them. Go colse to back and see how they are assembled. A goldmine for checking out spirited objects is any store that sets up holiday displays. Study those displays and you will learn a lot. You will see that most of them operate with very straightforward motors and levers.  

Animated Halloween Props

Tip 2 - Learn about straightforward levers. You will be amazed at how easy and fun it is to make objects move with basic levers. They are one of the most leading ingredients in practically all animatronics and mechatronics.

Tip 3 - Read about animatronics. Your local library and the internet are great resources. Hunt for terms like animatronics, mechatronics, and robots.

The Top 10 Best horror Movie Monsters

Posted by Unknown

Let us cut right to the chase...or right to the screaming as many of the folks on this list would prefer! Not only am I married to a top home haunter, I have been a big fan of bad dream movies (also called monster movies) for years. In my experience, as a fan of the genre, here are my top ten monsters of all time!

10. Kraken (1981)

Animated Halloween Props

From the 1981 Clash of the Titans, this is a beast that stirs the imagination. Although the Kraken is a beast of myth, it is the film version that everyone remembers. Who could forget the end scene of the primary Clash of the Titans where the Kraken comes for Andromeda? (What he wanted her for is not clear to me. Did he plan to eat her? ask her to go for a swim?) At any rate, the Kraken was brought to life by the stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, a legend in bad dream and fantasy movies. The image of Perseus turning the Kraken to stone is excellent and so is this multi-armed monster in this writer's opinion.

The Top 10 Best horror Movie Monsters

9. beast From the Black Lagoon (all versions)

There have been many movies about terrifying sea creatures, but beast From the Black Lagoon is still the best. (Sorry, Jaws!) Released in 1954, it features a monster-like gill-man discovered on an expedition in the Amazon. Like many illustrious monsters of the silver screen, the beast spawned sequels. The primary beast of the Black Lagoon movie is being remade for a 2011 release, according to the Imdb Web site.

8. Mummy (Boris Karloff)

Boris Karloff makes his first appearance on our list! The Mummy, directed by Karl Freund, is a 1932 bad dream film from Universal Studios. It starred Karloff as a revived aged Egyptian clergyman called Imhotep. While the movie is not a drop-dead scare fest, it is a excellent that is in the public memory of our society. When citizen think of mummies, they invariably think of Karloff shuffling out of his sarcophagus in bandages. The Mummy was semi-remade in The Mummy's Hand (1940) but it was Karloff's version that began the Mummy movies.

7. Michael Myers (all versions)

Michael Myers is the one who started the slasher genre. He first showed up in 1978's Halloween as a young boy who murders his older sister, and then returns home years later to kill again. His fights with Jamie Lee Curtis in the first two Halloween movies are perfect examples of how scary movie chases should work. Although, I think Michael's fights with Donald Pleasence (who played Dr. Loomis) are the best parts of the Halloween films. The only negative aspects to the Halloween movies to me are the continuity issues. For instance, Halloween Iii, although not a bad movie, has nothing to do with the other installments. Also, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later roughly ignores established continuity from earlier movies with no explanation.

6. Dracula (Bela Lugosi)

Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian actor, best known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and excellent Universal Studios Dracula films, too. The now excellent Dracula that made Lugosi a star came out in 1931. Although the movie is a tiny slow and not as animated as other Universal classics, such as the Frankenstein films, Lugosi made the film work. No matter how many vampire movies are made, too, this is the most memorable. Ask whatever who is Dracula and they immediately think of Bela's Dracula. His Dracula is an icon.

5. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)

Robert Englund is best known for playing serial killer Freddy Krueger in the bad dream on Elm street film series. according to Wikipedia, he received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A bad dream on Elm street 3: Dream Warriors in 1987 and A bad dream on Elm street 4: The Dream expert in 1988. I am not surprised. He was perfect as Freddy. The new Freddy cannot hold a candle, or dingy red sweater, to Englund. He approached playing Freddy with a compound of bad dream and comedy. His witty banter with his victims is the stuff of legend.

4. Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may come to be a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

When you talk about werewolves, there is none better than Lon Chaney's Wolfman in the 1941 Universal Studios movie. From the iconic makeup to the gypsy curse, it is Chaney's Wolfman that society knows best, and with good think - it is a darn good movie that stands the test of time.

3. Frankenstein's Monster (Boris Karloff)

Do I indeed have to write that Boris Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster is a excellent beast of the cinema? The crash of thunder, the sizzling laboratory machines, the monster's hand moving-these are the images we all have embedded in our minds. No version of the Frankenstein Monster gets better than Karloff's version from the excellent 1931 bad dream film.

2. Leatherface (all versions)

Leatherface is the main killer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. He wears masks made of his victims' skin (which is where the name Leatherface comes from) and is the character from the movie who normally carries a chainsaw. Not only is Leatherface one of the first slasher-type villains but he is drop-dead scary! While I think all versions of Leatherface are scary as heck, the best Leatherface actors were Gunnar Hansen (from the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Bill Johnson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). I still think the scene in Massacre 2 when Leatherface runs, chainsaw roaring, out of the darkened radio station toward the lead female actor is horrifying.

1. Jason Voorhees (all versions)

Sure, Kane Hodder has played Jason more than any other actor, but I can't pick one Jason that is better than another. Each actor who played the undead slasher Jason Voorhees brought something new to the role. Jason Voorhees is the killer from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980); although, he was not the main villain in the first movie. Jason is a great character because of the iconic hockey mask, the creepy camp setting, and because you feel some condolement for him. He was a deformed child who was mocked by peers and ignored by camp counselors. He also loves his mommy. (Watch the movies and you will see what I mean.) Because he evokes condolement in the audience, he is a tiny like Frankenstein's Monster but definitely more evil.

A friend and I were discussing first-rate cartoon characters, such as Tom and Jerry and Woody Woodpecker, around the water cooler. We discussed why many cartoons from the golden age of animation were more adult than childish. We also discussed why characters like Woody Woodpecker changed from crazy to responsible adult throughout the years. There are many reasons why the pre-World War Ii characters and cartoons changed over the years.

Most population are aware that cartoons in the 1930s, 40s, and even 50s were more adult in nature. Characters drank, smoked, and worried about taxes. For example, I remember a Woody Woodpecker cartoon in which Buzz Buzzard was determined to sign Woody up for a life assurance policy. But, Buzz was going to make himself the beneficiary, knock Woody off and keep the assurance money. Pretty heavy stuff. Let's dive into why cartoons were more adult like in this example.

Animated Halloween Props

First off, cartoons were more adult back in the golden age of animation because cartoons used to be shown before theatrical movies. Many of us Generation Xers and those who have come after us are used to seeing cartoons on television. (Who doesn't remember the first-rate Looney Tunes opportunity used in the 1980s in which all the paramount Looney Tunes characters paraded over the stage?) But, before cartoons were on television, they were in the movie theaters. For example, Tom and Jerry cartoons were shown before Mgm movies. Woody Woodpecker and friends were shown before Universal movies. Of course, Looney Tunes cartoons preceded Warner Bros. Movies.

excellent Cartoon Characters, Such As Woody Woodpecker, and Cartoons Themselves Have Changed

Now, as for why the pre-World War Ii characters like Woody Woodpecker acted in insane ways is because the animators and creators were young men feeling their oats. It makes perfect sense that early Woody Woodpecker, for example, was wild and crazy. Later on, as the creators began settling down and raising families, characters like Woody became more domesticated. Woody started caring for his nephew and niece, Knothead and Splinter. Meanwhile, over at Looney Tunes, Sylvester the Cat began raising his son. Even Foghorn Leghorn became a father frame to Miss Prissy's son, Egghead, Jr.

Yes, the post-World War Ii cartoon characters were different from how they were before the war and for good reason. Part of the infer is because of the fact cartoons were shown in theaters before adult audiences. Also, animators' real-life personalities seeped into the characters and the characters changed as the creators' lives changed. And, of course, the fact cartoons started being shown on television meant characters needed to be tamed down a little. But, we'll get into cartoons being edited for television in someone else article.

The overwhelming thing is all the first-rate cartoon characters, such as Wood Woodpecker, Andy Panda and Daffy Duck, live on in television reruns and Dvd sets. I completely enjoy watching the adventures of old-school characters, such as Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig, either we are talking about their early cartoons or later episodes. That's all folks...for now.

Haunting Ghosts

Even those who claim they "don't believe in ghosts" still get a puny spooked by seemingly paranormal performance when the mood is right. To nothing else but rock the ghost theme, don't skimp on your ghost decorations and props. Hanging bed sheets won't cut it. What you want, at least for your most descriptive ghosts, are specters that look like they used to be human. It's the twisted faces, pale skin and hollow eyes that nothing else but creep population out. If you have some room in your Halloween decorations budget, look into a ghost illusion prop. These project semi-transparent, 3-D figures that look disturbingly realistic. Ghost illusion Dvds will get you a similar corollary cheaper.

Mummies Make exquisite Monsters for Haunted Houses or Home Haunts

Posted by Unknown

Mummies are underrated monsters and do not get the prestige they deserve. That creepy creature from antique Egypt wrapped in dusty bandages captures our imagination. I advise trying a mummy theme if you own a haunted house or if you turn your own home and stable into a haunt. The public will love your haunt and tell their friends and family about "that awesome mummy haunted house."

Mummies are odd movie monsters and haunted house creatures to me but ones that honestly should be used more often. The public likes mummies as shown by many mummy movies throughout film history. Also, mummies' ties to antique times make them more challenging than straightforward haunted house actors with fake hammers and kitchen knives.

Animated Halloween Props

A mummy as a movie monster was first introduced to movie-goers in The Universal Studios' film The Mummy (1932). It starred Boris Karloff. He played Prince Im-Ho-Tep, an antique Egyptian who was mummified and comes back to life in modern times. The challenging thing about the film is Karloff is only seen bandaged as a mummy briefly when he returns to life. He looks like an older man throughout the rest of the movie. But, the film brought the concept of the mummy as a nightmare monster to life. And he kept arrival back like all good monsters do.

Universal Studios made many more Mummy films and Hammer Film Productions started their own Mummy series of movies. Hammer's first Mummy film, The Mummy, starred Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It was in color, which was challenging to fans in 1959 when it was released. This time around, the Mummy is named Kharis and not Im-Ho-Tep. Of course, the Mummy came to life again in the more modern series of Mummy films starring Brendan Fraser. No doubt, population are primed for a mummy-themed haunt.

There is someone else advantage to creating a mummy-themed haunt also the popularity of mummy films. With a mummy theme you can have consistency in your haunted house. Photo it, Egyptian symbols throughout the haunt, actors dressed in bandages, mummy hand props scattered throughout the haunt, and lifelike snake props slithering about. Also, you can decorate your haunted house with many Egyptian sarcophagi. A sarcophagus was a type of coffin in antique Egypt - a excellent ornamentation for your haunt.

Yes, filling a haunted house with sarcophagi would be helpful to haunted house owners and scary to patrons. Like coffins, sarcophagi are excellent places for actors to hide and leap out at customers as they saunter straight through the haunt. A excellent way to set up an Egyptian-themed haunt is to line an whole room of the haunted house with many sarcophagi. Place dummies in some coffins. Place real actors dressed as mummies in other coffins. I certify you will get good startles and screams from your patrons when the real actors jump out. population will love your haunted attraction and visiting it will make Halloween memorable for many customers!

I hope this narrative has given you some new ideas for your haunted attraction. Again, I encourage you to try a mummy theme. The Mummy films have the public primed for a "mummy" haunt and just the décor itself would be eerily amazing.

A friend and I were discussing classic cartoon characters, such as Tom and Jerry and Woody Woodpecker, nearby the water cooler. We discussed why many cartoons from the golden age of animation were more adult than childish. We also discussed why characters like Woody Woodpecker changed from crazy to responsible adult throughout the years. There are many reasons why the pre-World War Ii characters and cartoons changed over the years.

Most population are aware that cartoons in the 1930s, 40s, and even 50s were more adult in nature. Characters drank, smoked, and worried about taxes. For example, I remember a Woody Woodpecker cartoon in which Buzz Buzzard was thought about to sign Woody up for a life assurance policy. But, Buzz was going to make himself the beneficiary, knock Woody off and keep the assurance money. Pretty heavy stuff. Let's dive into why cartoons were more adult like in this example.

Animated Halloween Props

First off, cartoons were more adult back in the golden age of animation because cartoons used to be shown before theatrical movies. Many of us Generation Xers and those who have come after us are used to looking cartoons on television. (Who doesn't remember the classic Looney Tunes chance used in the 1980s in which all the noted Looney Tunes characters paraded across the stage?) But, before cartoons were on television, they were in the movie theaters. For example, Tom and Jerry cartoons were shown before Mgm movies. Woody Woodpecker and friends were shown before Universal movies. Of course, Looney Tunes cartoons preceded Warner Bros. Movies.

first-rate Cartoon Characters, Such As Woody Woodpecker, and Cartoons Themselves Have Changed

Now, as for why the pre-World War Ii characters like Woody Woodpecker acted in insane ways is because the animators and creators were young men feeling their oats. It makes perfect sense that early Woody Woodpecker, for example, was wild and crazy. Later on, as the creators began settling down and raising families, characters like Woody became more domesticated. Woody started caring for his nephew and niece, Knothead and Splinter. Meanwhile, over at Looney Tunes, Sylvester the Cat began raising his son. Even Foghorn Leghorn became a father frame to Miss Prissy's son, Egghead, Jr.

Yes, the post-World War Ii cartoon characters were different from how they were before the war and for good reason. Part of the presume is because of the fact cartoons were shown in theaters before adult audiences. Also, animators' real-life personalities seeped into the characters and the characters changed as the creators' lives changed. And, of course, the fact cartoons started being shown on television meant characters needed to be tamed down a little. But, we'll get into cartoons being edited for television in other article.

The wonderful thing is all the classic cartoon characters, such as Wood Woodpecker, Andy Panda and Daffy Duck, live on in television reruns and Dvd sets. I completely enjoy watching the adventures of old-school characters, such as Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig, either we are talking about their early cartoons or later episodes. That's all folks...for now.
