The Palm Beach Post remembers the past 100 years of animation. The milestone was reached yesterday, when 100 years ago, J. Stuart Blackton’s three-minute Humorous Phases of Funny Faces was unveiled. Among reflections of animated projects from the past century, numerous names try to explain what makes the art form wonderful. ASIFA-Hollywood’s Stephen Worth expresses, “Great animation is when you have a visionary director who is using all aspects of the medium at the same time to put his idea across. That’s… a film where the music, the sound effects, the drawings, the backgrounds, the motion are all working together. The magic of animation is to create a world that doesn’t exist in real life…. All of the artifice falls away and you’re left with the sheer joy of life.”
