The animation in this was good. I used to post about animation here.
I think overall the movie was very good culturally.

I see they use traditional animation, so you'd have to be a drawer to do it. You'd do well off like me starting high school with Art I or Talented Art.

I didn't feel it was racist. I thought the characters were treated well. I don't really see them as divided racially.

Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner. I didn't check my BabyFrog e-mail.

So, yea, the world of animation is fascinating. I finally cleared a space for me to draw and paint. I also do music in my spare time. I actually bought a book on how to animate characters at MGM.

I have Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life on hold at the library.
I used to want to be an animator, but I don't have the drive or talent to do it. I am however playing around with stop-motion animation, just for fun.

Oooh.
That's cool. I just went to Disney yesterday and .

I used to dream of being an animator, as well.

That's cool you're doing stop motion.

I bet you're excited for Frankenweenie. I am.
I can do without a book I'll never read. Second hand faith is all I need.

The animation was beautiful. I really wish they'd make more like this rather than GCI.

CGI is awesome. I know Full Sail has a Bachelor's in Computer Animation. You can chose to focus on the Animation, if you look on the right at "Areas of Focus:" http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/computer-animation-bachelors
For example, UCF where I live has a concentration in Character Animation under the Art - Emerging Media BFA.

I wonder if there's a difference between doing Art and Computer Animation. I see the L.A. Film School's degree is in Computer Animation: http://www.lafilm.edu/flash/index.html?degree=computer-animation However, U.C.L.A. doesn't have Animation.

I used to be a young artist, but I didn't like go all out and make paintings as a kid. I did more crafts and drawing. I had origami books and a craft book. However, I never am able to understand the instructions of how to knit and crochet, which I'd like to. In high school, I did Art I & II. Art III was sculpture and digital media, but I wasn't interested and did Talented Theater instead. I wish I dropped other extra educational classes that people take for certain college majors maybe or for impressive entrance resumes and took the art classes.

I think Tim Burton is really awesome with The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and now also Frankenweenie. That's stop animation. You probably know. He uses puppets and moves them for each shot. He has other people do that, though. He just creates the story and the last 2 he directed, also.

Movies like Alice in Wonderland have a lot of art in it, too, which is also interesting. I posted on that board for a long time. It was a very successful movie.

I found the animation in this to be very good. I like the way the colors contrasted and blended. It's similar to Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, which are big classics. I find that Sleeping Beauty and Hercules are similar in that like with the hair I know they have the lines in the hair be gold or light brown etc. instead of black if their hair isn't black. What if they had a princess with white hair? I always liked that "My Little Pony" with pink hair and a white body. I also liked the ponies in Fantasia. Blue used to be my favorite color, but my favorite is probably the pink one. Those are also quite classics. It's nice to see this princess be added to the rest.

Art is a fun activity and is good for you. You should get some painting supplies and do some things. You do know that they have pads of painting paper called Acrylic paper. You know to get the large bottles of paint in the 3 primary painting colors and the 2 neutral colors, that's red, blue, yellow, black, and white. I hadn't painted in a long time and forgot the black and white when I got my paints at first. You can mix the paints on wax paper or aluminum foil. I don't remember special trays for mixing paint at Wal-Mart. That would be better, though. It still works out pretty well on the wax paper or aluminum foil. When I started to paint again, I didn't think of that immediately but figured it out pretty quickly. I cleared a spot on the table next to my computer for art. I have 2 tables. One is bigger. So, I do art on the bigger one. Art helped me with my muscles and to improve how I felt in health at a hard time. I also have a sofa. I live in my parents's garage but eat with them. I also cleared a spot for singing. I have just enough room for everything and might clear even more space.

So, yes, the art is very beautiful. You have inspired me to make my own art from The Princess and the Frog.

I think most of the people who work at Disney can draw in some manner. Unless you're going in there to run the company and handle the business end, I'm pretty sure its required that you know how to draw.

Yea, I imagine you have to draw to make characters.

Un Problemo

no money D';

This would have been a nice Christmas present.

bn

}:] but maybe for New Year's.

Next Christmas, 2013

I'm getting the Christmas cards way in advance.  I thought I'd make my last trip to the mall.  I wish I could bring in gifts.  2 Christmases ago, I got us each a different kind of boxed set of The Chronicles of Narnia.  I think I had hardcover, and my mom had some sort of colored illustrated book, probably hardcover.  I probably should have gotten us all the same thing.  I still treasure an old set I have that I almost got rid of and my brother had in his closet.  I think I got birthday cards, for sure.  I didn't e-mail any greetings, nor anything, but I posted Merry Christmas on my blog.  Hm, now I wish I got Christmas presents.  I wonder what I could have gotten.  I used all my money for like bathroom supplies and the like and my dad even paid over $100 for me I'm pretty sure, also needed a lighter sweater and a windbreaker.  You could always get someone like a watch, I guess, but that would cost at least $20.  I have $180.  Really, I even waited a month to get what I needed.  I guess a card would do.

How I'm Feeling

My head feels puffed up, and my nose is itchy and filled with pressure of air.  I keep sniffling.  The pimple in my left ear has really gone to my head, but it isn't as bad as it can be.  It's from wearing ear plugs, which I usually just wear to sleep now and in the living area when my family is sleeping because I can hear my dad snoring often.  I still manage to watch "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," but I can still hear him when he snores if I scoot.  Up.  I used to watch stuff there more, and he used to snore more.  It's even a fuzzy recollect to realize what I watched.  I don't remember where I heard the snoring most.  So, I sneezed and took a cough drop.  If I could walk to CVS, I could get some medicine, some light medicine..

Ate

I had cheddar crackers that came with spread and the cream cheese and chive 1, which tasted of hotel.

Back to "Work"

If I were in the real world, I wouldn't declare today a holiday.  3)

I wouldn't make the New Year a holiday, neither.  For me, the holidays would be:
(1) the day before and after Thanksgiving
(2) Christmas Day

Dream

Oh no, I got the hiccups and don't remember.  I had to get up and have some water and it stopped like it usually always does these days except maybe once or twice more recently.

I forgot the good parts but kinda remember standing up doing something like at a school singing.  Yes, I think it involved Ellen DeGeneres.  I think it was more impersonal, on the whole.
