American and Japanese animation

Even though it was about animation i found it really interesting to see the differences between the american and japanese animation especially the differences between the disney animation and the animation used in my neighbour toronto which i do not normally like animation like this but since seeing this i would now like to watch it.




This were two of the films we watched clips from and you can see with disneys bambi that it has alot more brighter colours than the japanese film my neighbour totoro i think this is to make it more reconizable to disney as they use this style in all there animation films.
My favourite thing from the lecture was the desk lamp from pixar

It was also interesting to know that this was John Lasseters first thing created using computers when he working for pixar and that the desk lamp shows so many emotions but does not have a face.
When you look at american animation you can see that it uses more brighter colours then the japanese animation  and that the american animation is more about family and the japanese is more fantasy which the two have a whole history of using this style but that is my own opinion and people will disagree but this is what i think splits the two animations (american and japanese).
