Breaking Boundaries

Animation takes the form of over millions of different things. There can be CGI, 2d cartoons, and other things like that. One form that has been used a few times is combining 2d characters with real life. Out of all movies that have done this, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is probably the most popular one. It's largely recognized as the first media to use this type of animation, but that is very false. There were actually a few Looney Tunes cartoons in the 30s that combined the cartoons with real people. The results were entertaining cartoons that broke the boundaries of real life and computer. It was never before seen, and was stunning to the eye. The short was titled You Ought To Be In The Pictures, and mainly featured Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. Was happened is that Daffy persuaded Porky to quite cartoons and work in the films. So Porky goes to his boss (Leon Schlesinger) and leaves cartoons forever. Well, he goes to the film studio, and after being chased by the guard, he realizes there's no job opening. Meanwhile, at Warner Brothers, Daffy is about to become the new star, but Porky beats him to it. So there's a happy ending and Porky comes back to work in cartoons. To be precise, this short is incredible. The animation is good, and it still holds up 70 years later. The human acting is realistic and is better than Space Jam could ever be. This cartoon deserves a full 5 out of 5, because it's truly a classic cartoon. Due to technical difficulties, I am unable to show this cartoon on the site. You will have to take my word for this short.
