Sakuga pt.3 - Japanese Animation History, from Mori to Otsuka to Kanada

Presenter Neil Clingerman lays out how Japanese animation got to look (and move) like anime. "Believe it or not, anime used to look something like Disney."

Sir, you are a gentleman and I sincerely thank you for your courteous response.

I grew up with anime starting in 1963 with Tetsuwan Atom and I later became personal friends with the likes of Osamu Tezuka and Kasahiko Kato (Monkey Punch). I was also a neighbor of Ward Kimball's and learned a lot about the "good, bad and the ugly" of the mouse. I spent 12 years with Disney to boot. Again, thank you for your very courteous reply.

@vawlkee51 I take full responsibility for that mistake due to a misinterperation of a part of the Ghibli produced documentary "Yasou Otsuka's Joy of Animation" (approximate name) where the book was implied to be a study guide for the Toei animators along with mentions of the 9 old men. We also made note of it in the comments. Also Blair was at Disney but left after the 1941 strike.. I apologise for the mistakes, and please don't take it personally.

[vawlkee51]

Neil totally lost any credibility with me when he said Preston Blair was one of the 9 old men at Disney!

Blair was with Metro, NOT Disney.

Crawl back under your rock Clingerman!

@GojiGuy Tezuka's more experimental stuff should have been included, but again time was an issue. I think that Toei, Miyazaki and Otsuka are more influential which is why I focused on them.

Whats a good example of "sakuga" style animation from Tatsunoko productions / Speed Racer? Time was a big issue here, we literally just had enough time to cover what we did without talking about everything that makes anime great.

My question is will 3D animation die out because i miss 2D animation from America, probably the reason that i'm so inclined towards Japananimation as i am now

[GojiGuy]

Surprised Maha GOGOGO and Gatchaman and other Tatsunoko Products weren't included here as well as Tezuka Animation's more experimental films from the 70s. But I guess you can't cover everything! Good stuff! Very informative!

[gnikcuf888]

Great documentary, some of the commentary was annoying , but otherwise informative!

[valleus]

I often watch these videos over and over snd always get more from them each time.

[valleus]

I have learned so much from the videos.So much valuable information.Ive loved japanese anime since the 60s and have nit been able to learn as much as I have from these guys

[neilworms1]

@TehDarkPrince I sadly was wrong mentioning Preston Blair, came from a misunderstanding of a documentary I watched about Otsuka and Toei animatiors.

I hoped I had said Mary Blair, she's on par with Tezuka in terms of influence, the American animation industry owes her a ton and I'm sure some of the Japanese acknowledge her influence.
