Como o tempo pode mudar até as fábulas...

Ou como se deve a cada momento avaliar as forças e as debilidades, não se fiando no passado.

É claro que o autor poderia ter ido ainda mais longe e em vez de um lobo e três porquinhos podia ter posto três lobos e um porquinho. Ainda ficaria mais convincente o "Triunfo do(s) porco(s)".

Happy birthday Donald Duck

The Disney character Donald Duck made his debut in The Wise Little Hen released on 9 June, 1934. His distinctive voice, one of the most identifiable voices in all of animation was performed by voice actor Clarence "Ducky" Nash up to 1983. Donald is best known for losing his temper, allowing him to show off the voice without saying much of anything. He looks dapper in his sailor suit, but never wears pants, except when swimming. Donald has girlfriend (Daisy), three nephews (Hewey, Dewey, and Lewey), a rich uncle (Scrooge McDuck), and various other Disney relatives.

Tex Avery - 100th Birthday

Fredrick Bean "Tex" Avery was born in Taylor, Texas, USA, precisely a 100 years ago (26 Feb.1908). He was an American animator, cartoonist, and director, famous for producing animated cartoons during The Golden Age of Hollywood animation.

Tex was interested in animation from an early age. He started drawing comic strips in high school, and spent a summer studying art at the Chicago Art Institute. Avery moved to California in the early thirties and entered the animation field as a painter for Walter Lantz. Under Lantz, he learned the entire animation process and soon became a storyboard artist. In 1935, Tex went to work at Warner Bros. where he created Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and created the personality of Bugs Bunny. From 1936 to 1941 he worked as supervisor - another word for cartoon director - of some 60 titles in the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes series for Leon Schlesinger at Warner's. A disagreement with Leon Schlesinger led Tex to quit Warner Bros in 1941.

So he was hired by MGM producer Fred Quimby and worked until 1954 as director of cartoons at MGM. He was responsible for practically every MGM Cartoon that did not feature Tom and Jerry. Unlike Disney, Tex Avery's cartoons had their own personality.

Among the many cartoon characters Avery created are Daffy Duck, Droopy, Screwy Squirrel and Chilly Willy. Tex Avery is also credited with creating the basic personality of Bugs Bunny. He was the one who coined the phrase "What's up, Doc?"

His influence was found in almost all of the animated cartoon series by various studios in the 1940s and 1950s.

Tex did not concentrate on creating lasting characters, but on slapstick gags and humorous situations.

In 1954, Tex left MGM right before the studio stopped making theatrical shorts. He re-joined Walter Lantz to make only four cartoons, and making popular the Chilly Willy character. He then joined the world of TV commercials where the Raid bug spray ads and Frito Bandito where among his creations.

Tex Avery was a genius. His cartoon style of slapstick gags and hilarious situations are still being imitated today, over forty years after they were created.

Tex Avery died on 26 August, 1980

Pink Panther's creator died 12 years ago

Friz Freleng died twelve years ago in Los Angeles, California, USA from natural causes (b. August 21, 1906 in Kansas City, Missouri in 1905). He was one of the most prolific and successful animators of the 20th century, Isadore "Friz" Freleng was the director of Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes for Warner Brothers Cartoons. He introduced and/or developed several of the studio's biggest stars, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the cat, Yosemite Sam (to whom he was said to bear more than a passing resemblance) and Speedy Gonzales. While at Warner Bros., Freleng won Academy Awards for Tweety Pie (1947), Speedy Gonzales (1955), Birds Anonymous (1957) and Knighty Knight Bugs (1958) and was nominated for seven others. After Warners shut down the animation studio in 1963, Freleng and business partner David DePatie founded DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.

Friz Freleng

The Panther started out in 1964 as an animated short shown before The Blake Edwards movie "The Pink Panther". A lot of people thought the cartoon was a lot cooler than the movie. So the creator, Friz Freleng, together with David DePatie, started making a long running series of Pink Panther cartoons. They are still shown today all over the world.
