Hi everyone (and Heather, congrats on the good mark) There have been several movies that combine live action with animation. 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' is the best, IMO - 'SpaceJam' was less successful. WFRR is full of homage to the cartoon/animation industry.
The decline in popularity of Wile E. Coyote & Co. was more a generational thing - a backlash against what interested the immediate 'older generation' - there was as much cartoon violence in the 80's but it wasn't as obvious. The left-of-right undertones behind W.E.C. would not be appreciated either. In the industry and in the arts, Warner Bros. animation is held in high esteem (I noticed a reference in the documentary on 'Finding Nemo') - and it is truly art, not simple entertainment, and not intentionally, or necessarily, child-oriented. Disney worked hard on that angle - thus there might be confusion that Warner Bros. was marketing to children, which might be the case now, but wasn't always so. A neat thing about the old cartoons was the skittering on the screen set to classical music. -- bye for now Bev, who should be doing other things, in sunny Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
