Book excerpt: "If Walt Disney's life and work evoke feelings of chaste princesses in gleaming white castles, then Ralph Bakshi's should conjure up ladies of ill repute camped out in dim back alleys." "On par with the legendary animation auteurs of our time, Bakshi's name is synonymous with the grand tradition of American cartooning." "Responsible for such memorable films and television shows as Fritz the Cat, the first X-rated animated feature film, Heavy Traffic, Coonskin, Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Wizards, and The Lord of the Rings, Bakshi's influence on American popular culture, as well as on artists and writers who came after him, is undeniable and extensive." "Unfiltered: The Complete Ralph Bakshi is the first and only book chronicling the career of this animation pioneer, highlighting his early years, as well as each of his groundbreaking films, TV shows, and other projects. It contains brand-new Bakshi art created especially for this book, as well as hundreds of pieces of pre-production art, animation eels, and never-before-seen rough sketches, line drawings, and doodles, all culled from Bakshi's personal archives containing more than fifty years of his life's work."--Rabat de la jaquette.

This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea continues to taunt the United States by detonating nuclear weapons and launching long-range missiles across the Pacific. This threat is suddenly overshadowed by the destruction of the US fleet by a group of highly coordinated Islamic terrorists as it sails through the Straits of Hormuz and into the Persian Gulf. As the crisis escalates, little attention is paid to several blue, bloated and grossly disfigured Asian sailors who wash ashore in Galveston, Texas. Likewise, the North Korean cargo ship 'Seoul' is able to slip into Whiskey Bay, Louisiana unnoticed, where she offloads her cargo: highly radioactive weapons of mass destruction. As more Asian sailors become deathly ill from the many weeks spent at sea in close proximity to their lethal cargo, they are transferred to a small hospital in Carencrow, Louisiana for treatment. Dr. Rex Bent, an emergency room physician, immediately becomes suspicious and notifies the proper authorities. With their coup de grace in jeopardy the extremists realize that not only Dr. Bent but also his wife and confidante, Sharon, must be eliminated without raising suspicion. Pursued and hounded like traitors who had betrayed their country, the Bents are in a race against time, determined to discover the significance of 'Prussian Blue'."

Download or read book Animated Personalities written by David McGowan and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book makes the case that iconic cartoon characters, such as Mickey Mouse, are legitimate cinematic stars, just as popular human actors are. Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Felix the Cat, and other beloved cartoon characters have entertained media audiences for almost a century, outliving the human stars who were once their contemporaries in studio-era Hollywood. In Animated Personalities, David McGowan asserts that iconic American theatrical short cartoon characters should be legitimately regarded as stars, equal to their live-action counterparts, not only because they have enjoyed long careers, but also because their star personas have been created and marketed in ways also used for cinematic celebrities. Drawing on detailed archival research, McGowan analyzes how Hollywood studios constructed and manipulated the star personas of the animated characters they owned. He shows how cartoon actors frequently kept pace with their human counterparts, granting “interviews,” allowing “candid” photographs, endorsing products, and generally behaving as actual actors did—for example, Donald Duck served his country during World War II, and Mickey Mouse was even embroiled in scandal. Challenging the notion that studios needed actors with physical bodies and real off-screen lives to create stars, McGowan demonstrates that media texts have successfully articulated an off-screen existence for animated characters. Following cartoon stars from silent movies to contemporary film and television, this groundbreaking book broadens the scope of star studies to include animation, concluding with provocative questions about the nature of stardom in an age of digitally enhanced filmmaking technologies. “[Animated Personalities] is impressive for its lucid historical structure and exceptionally enjoyable content . . . McGowan breathes life into celluloid figures, giving readers a backstory for some of the most enduring iconic characters of screen history. This is a truly gratifying book.” —Choice “Combining historical, formal, and theoretical modes of analysis, Animated Personalities represents a vital contribution to both star studies and the study of animation in classical Hollywood and beyond. By embracing a key problematic of the study of stardom―the inability to take any element of its construction as authentic―McGowan does not undermine the validity of this approach so much as craft a more honest and complete understanding of it.” —Synoptique
