Recreating a Classic

"When a forger is trying to make a document look older than it actually is, they'll sometimes use tea or tobacco to stain the paper that this item is printed on. And when a furniture maker is trying to make a table or a dresser look like an authentic antique, they'll sometimes beat on that item with a length of chain in order to weather the wood" When an animator wants to make an cartoon look older than it is, they will sabotage the production by purposely adding mistakes that occurred during the real vintage cartoons.

  • Disney used to be short on money?! I thought Disney was an instant success from the time it began and that it was swimming in more money than it knew what to do with. Well, that's what I get for assuming.
  • Disney cartoons were in really bad shape when they aired. So many mistakes that added to the finesse of the cartoon (where one might assume that it would actually take away from the appeal). Why were they so damaged?
  • California used to have a bad electrical current? That's odd considering that California is such a busy and wealthy place. I thought that they would have been the first to have the best working technology.
  • Since bullet number 1 doesn't feel very adequate, I am adding a fourth. To go the extra mile, they are snagging the sound files from older cartoons and placing them in the new short. Also, I forget that sound effects are naturally made and not all computer generated.
Eh, it's just my opinion
  •  Personally, I've never liked the old animated mickey cartoons. Not sure why. Probably goes along with my previous journal where I stated that "just because it is old doesn't make it any better".
  • Very creative and resourceful. I hope it turns out exactly as planned.
Who came up with the idea of remaking a Mickey cartoon? Also, why? Purely for curiosity's sake, of course.
