Animation and film in this country really started back in the day with two different styles of performing: Melodrama (if you look to your classical black-and-white silent films, The Birth of a Nation, D.W. Griffith stuff) and vaudeville (Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin); and if you look at animation, it’s pretty similar. The Warner Bros., Looney Tunes stuff tends to be the vaudevillian, Daffy Duck-fall-on-his-face kind of thing, and Disney tends to be the melodrama. But Disney was obsessed with doing childhood fantasy, and that became sort of the dominant theme for animation. So, animation in this country sort of got equated with one genre; the entire medium of animation in America kind of got associated with this one genre- “for children,” and that’s pretty much because of Disney. The only alternative, then, is the Looney Tunes sort of “irreverent animation”, which then turns into South Park, Family Guy, and The Simpsons, where it’s going to be very adult, Satire sort of storytelling, and there’s a wasteland in the middle.
