Download or read book America Toons In written by David Perlmutter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animation has been part of television since the start of the medium but it has rarely received unbiased recognition from media scholars. More often, it has been ridiculed for supposedly poor technical quality, accused of trafficking in violence aimed at children, and neglected for indulging in vulgar behavior. These accusations are often made categorically, out of prejudice or ignorance, with little attempt to understand the importance of each program on its own terms. This book takes a serious look at the whole genre of television animation, from the early themes and practices through the evolution of the art to the present day. Examining the productions of individual studios and producers, the author establishes a means of understanding their work in new ways, at the same time discussing the ways in which the genre has often been unfairly marginalized by critics, and how, especially in recent years, producers have both challenged and embraced this "marginality" as a vital part of their work. By taking seriously something often thought to be frivolous, the book provides a framework for understanding the persistent presence of television animation in the American media--and how surprisingly influential it has been.

Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s.

DESCRIPTION Sleeping Beauty & The Cursed Code is a STEM fantasy (for ages 9-13) set in a world where classical princesses like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty reign as tech powered super heroes. In the book the team faces off against Anathema, the Evil Fairy, as they try to prove that science and technology can defeat dark magic. EXCERPT Chapter 1 The Curse "Please don''t make me watch." "Open your eyes," a honey-sweet voice ordered. I clenched my jaw and used my fingers to pry open my eyelids. I had to watch the curses. I knew I had to. My curse would be the downfall of our kingdom, so I had to learn all I could about curses to know what I was up against. Torn between bravery and cowardice, I watched through squinted eyes. I stood inside a slightly curved world. I knew it wasn''t real because I''d been in similar memories before. I had stepped inside a recording. The pixels sparked at mismatched angles, and the whole world around me was remembered in black and white, like watching the cartoon version of an old television show. The word LUCY crossed the screen, as if it had been typed directly into my vision. This time, Lucy was the victim. She was all alone on a stormy night tossing in her sleep. Her dark hair was knotting with each restless turn. From what I could tell, it was the night''s booming thunder and frequent flashes of lightning tormenting her rest. As more lightning lit the sky, the hockey jersey she was wearing suddenly sparkled. The poster of the handsome teenage prince on her wall told me she was probably not much older than thirteen, just like me. The next crack was even louder. I jumped. It signaled the entrance of Anathema, the evil fairy who torments us. Anathema was but the hint of a shadow on a stormy night. Her dark robes dangled, her hood covered the obscured essence of her face. I shivered, certain that even in the recording, she''d sensed my presence. The fairy drifted towards the helpless girl sleeping in her hockey jersey. "Lucy," the Evil Fairy whispered, "Fair princess. Fairest of them all. May a toad bring about your downfall." In the shadows, Anathema raised a fully draped hand to her gray-scaled lips. She spread her fingers revealing that she was holding a living, breathing toad. It was paralyzed with fear. Anathema scared animals just as much as she scared humans. The fairy exhaled and let out an indecipherable curse that turned the toad into nothing more than shimmering dust, barely visible in the heavy air. The dust began to drift without hurry towards the slumbering girl. I wanted to scream. Wake up, Lucy! Run! Save yourself! I stayed silent, knowing my warning would go unheeded. I couldn''t change the past. No one can change the past. Not even the fairies. For more about the book or the author visit 4Pigs2Fly.com or follow the author on IG @Emma.Jean.Author

Download or read book The Sleeping Beauty and Other Tales written by Charles Perrault and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book includes five famous tales by Charles Perrault illustrated by Walter Crane (40 colour illustrations): Little Red Riding Hood; The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots; Blue Beard; The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods; and Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper. Walter Crane was a prominent book illustrator of the 19th century. In cooperation with Edmund Evans, he designed picture books printed in colour, which became the most popular children's books at the time thanks to their high level of craftsmanship and low price. Crane's style shows the influence of the art of the Renaissance and Japanese prints (ukiyo-e). He designed his books according to the belief that "children, like the ancient Egyptians, appear to see most things in profile and like definite statements in design. They prefer well-defined forms and bright, frank colour. They don't want to bother about three dimensions. They can accept symbolic representations. They themselves employ drawing ... as a kind of picture-writing and eagerly follow a pictured story." Crane's work set the standards of taste in the Victorian children's book industry and earned him a reputation as 'the father of the illustrated children's book'.
