The English language is puzzling enough, without having terms that can suggest more than something or are interchangeable. The word cartoon is among those terms that has people, particularly scientists, scratching their heads questioning why they can't find what they are searching for. Depending on when you grew up, the term animation may mean something completely various to you norman thelwell art than it does to a kid who matured watching Bugs Bunny on Saturday early mornings. For older folks, the term cartoon strikes up pictures of Lil' Abner cartoons. For some people, it is both. The fact of the matter is, technically, if you search for the definition of an animation, it actually applies to both mediums. If you pass the initial historic meaning of the word animation it refers to a complete size drawing made on paper as a research study for a more artwork. In other words, animations really weren't finished pieces of work, much like an architects drawings for a building. the illustrations are simply preliminary. The buildings are the finished work. Early cartoons were generally just lays out of a topic. The information were then filled out at a later date. With the advancements of motion pictures like "Steamboat Willie", suddenly a cartoon took on an entire brand- new meaning. You had your cartoons that continued to remain in stationary print, like your Sunday comic strips, and then you had your cartoons that took on the residential or commercial properties of movement, like your Saturday early morning half hour shows. Suddenly, the term cartoon was just too complicated to use for both mediums. In order to remove the confusion, a new term was developed. Cartoons that were seen in print media were no longer described as cartoons. They ended up being referred to as comic strips. These are typically a short series of illustrations to narrate or part of one, like the day-to-day serial strips such as Brenda Starr. The movement variety of cartoon maintained its initial terminology. Nevertheless, it might be interesting to keep in mind that those who deal with fixed print media are not described as cartoon artists. They are still called cartoonists. Those who make cartoons are now described as animators. Some would state that in trying to clear up the confusion, in some ways we've just made things worse. Of course there is the continuous fight in between cartoonists and animators themselves. Those who work at movement animation take offense at being called cartoonists. A lot of feel it demeans the work that they do. Cartoonists, those who really deal with cartoons (the initial kind) have no problem with either label and certainly would not mind if you were to describe them as an animator, as that tag seems to have more prestige in our modern-day times. Depending on when you grew up, the term animation might imply something entirely various to you than it does to a kid who grew up seeing Bugs Bunny on Saturday mornings. For older folks, the term animation strikes up images of Lil' Abner comic strips. You had your animations that continued to stay in fixed print, like your Sunday comic strips, and then you had your cartoons that took on the homes of motion, like your Saturday early morning half hour shows. Unexpectedly, the term cartoon was simply too confusing to utilize for both mediums. Animations that were seen in print media were no longer referred to as cartoons.
