I have been asked to talk about the different styles and techniques used in animation during the 1930s to 50s, people were still experimenting with different animation styles and techniques.
To start with I was asked to look into Normal McLaren, a canadian animator who did lots of experimental work with film reels to create some rather abstract films.
This one he made by drawing onto the film, he then made music to go over it afterwards.
Secondly there is a stop motion animation made with clay characters called Gumby, it was made by moving the figures a very small amount, and taking a new picture each time. Gumby was a popular television show. Here is a clip made as a pitch to a TV network before Gumby was made.
Tom and Jerry is a very popular cartoon series created by William Hanna and Joseph Berbera, back around 1940. It was made by drawing each frame individually.
Betty Boop, created by Max Fleischer in 1930
