Meta: The Return

Welcome to Animation Resources, the new online home for my animation and cartooning research library.

Ub Iwerks

When the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive was closed, I was in the process of merging our old outdated Blogger site with our new WordPress one. Unfortunately, it was halted in midstream leaving a bunch of broken links. I am working on reconstructing the important resources here, and I’ll be adding a lot more material too. Please bear with me as I format the material for the new site. It may take awhile to catch up.

In the meantime, you could do me a favor by updating your links to us with the new domain, www.animationresources.org. Make sure to tell all your friends as well.

I’ll have more exciting news soon. Be sure to sign up for our email list using the form in the left hand sidebar, and join our Facebook group so you won’t miss anything.

Thank you for your support

The Encyclopedia of Cartooning is the newest part of the Animation Resources website, and it’s still very much under construction. If you are interested in what we plan to do in this space, have a seat and listen to this interview with Stephen Worth where he outlines the history of cartooning and talks about the issues that will be a big part of this section of the Animation Resources site…

Grim Natwick is undoubtedly one of the most influential animators who ever lived. His career spanned the entire history of animation- from its earliest days in New York to Richard Williams’ Cobbler and the Thief in recent times. Grim worked at many of the major studios- Hearst, Fleicher, Iwerks, Disney, Lantz, UPA, Jay Ward, Melendez and Richard WIlliams. He animated in every style, but was able to maintain his own personal flavor, regardless of whether he was animating for modern studios like UPA or cartoony ones like Fleischer. If one had to define the single element that set his animation apart, it would have to be that his characters always seemed to have a genuine spark of life.
