Cartoon Makeovers
March 22nd 2010 00:17
Like the rest of the world, cartoon characters evolve with changing times, improving technology, better techniques and more money to spend!
KoldCast.TV wrote a fantastic article covering some of the more notable animation changes and makeovers to popular cartoon characters over the years. Below is a sample and you can read the full article here.
This image from the third-ever Mickey Mouse feature cartoon, Steamboat Willie, represents some of the earliest animation on record, and contributed to the first Disney cartoon to feature synchronized sound. Illustrator Ub Iwerks’ work laid the foundation for what would become animation’s most iconic character of all time. Note the dramatic alterations on Mickey, including the addition of pupils, lighter skin, and a pear-shaped body.
When The Simpson family first appeared as a short on Fox’s “Tracy Ullman Show”, no one could have predicted the family’s phenomenal TV stardom. The year was 1987, and creator Matt Groening mistakenly assumed his crude drawings would be cleaned up prior to airing. Now in its third decade, “The Simpsons” characters have undergone quite a few illustrative upgrades, to say the least.
What began as one of the Internet’s first viral video shorts in 1992, “South Park” shocked viewers when it went from the web to the tube five years later. The show’s in-your-face social commentary spares nobody of taboo ridicule, and creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker were just as fearless when they launched the show nearly 20 years ago—even if their drawings weren’t quite as skilled as their commentary.
Originally titled “The Flagstones”, this cartoon sitcom premiered in 1960 and would become the first primetime animated series to last more than two seasons. As animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera’s original drawings suggest, the show initially targeted adults.
A seven-time Academy Award winner for Best Short Subject (Cartoons), “Tom & Jerry” is known to have been subtly more highbrow and suggestive than its younger audiences realized. Built on a perennially contentious rivalry between a housecat and a clever mouse, the show’s popularity lasted decades. And indeed, Hanna and Barbera’s original 1963 artwork underwent some noticeable alterations over that period.

Michael Jordan
March 19th 2010 00:18
Michael Jordan is generally regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time. He was inaugurated into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.
After a standout career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he led the Tar Heels to a National Championship in 1982, Jordan joined the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1984. He quickly emerged as a league star, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests, earned him the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness". He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball. In 1991, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993, securing a "three-peat". Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball at the beginning of the 1993–94 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball, he rejoined the Bulls in 1995 and led them to three additional championships (1996, 1997, and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995-96 NBA season. Jordan retired for a second time in 1999, but returned for two more NBA seasons in 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards[ Click here to read more ]

March 17th 2010 00:17
The Universe is generally described as encompassing everything we perceive to physically exist, the entirety of space and time plus all forms of matter and energy.
The Universe is so large that it's very difficult if not impossible to grasp the concept of its enormity. However, just as the Universe is unimaginably large, there are other forms of matter just as inconceivably small[ Click here to read more ]
