Disney cartoon of Salvador Dali

Disney asked Dalí to draw a cartoon, which would be the embodiment of the idea of surrealism, but having been so unusually ordinary viewer, that closed the show and not scooped right up to 2003. Film duration of any incomplete 7 minutes can not be found in less important needs and that its complete form. This - the best option. And I want to note that while the uniformity of muslin ladies Disney heroine here has turned well before the great, that is breathtaking. Collaboration with Dali Walt Disney Studios began in 1940 with the animated film "Fantasia» (Fantasia). In 1946, Salvador Dali and Walt Disney signed a deal to create a surreal cartoon Destino (Destiny) explanation of the Mexican ballad Armando Dominguez. Because of the conflicts and problems finanasovyh he was never completed. In 2003 he was re-designed by and storyboards, which were kept in the archives of Roy Disney.

Fantasmagorie

Fantasmagorie is an 1908 French animated film by Émile Cohl (born Émile Eugène Jean Louis Courtet). It is one of the earliest examples of traditional animation, and considered by film historians to be the first animated cartoon. To make this film, Cohl placed each drawing on an illuminated glass plate and then traced the next drawing-with variations-on top of it until he had some 700 drawings.

In 1908, chalkboard caricaturists were common vaudeville attractions and the characters in the film look as though they've been drawn on a chalkboard, but it's an illusion. By filming black lines on paper and then printing in negative Cohl makes his animations appear to be chalk drawings. LINK: The Presurfer, Via: Youtube

The cartoons of Abner Dean

"Abner Dean (1910 – 1982), born Abner Epstein, was an American cartoonist who was the nephew of sculptor Jacob Epstein. In allegorical or surrealist situations, Dean often depicted extremes of human behavior amid grim, decaying urban settings or barren landscapes. His artwork prompted Clifton Fadiman to comment, 'His pictures are trick mirrors in which we catch sight of those absurd fragments of ourselves that we never see in the smooth glass of habit.'"

What Things Do, Jordan Crane's wonderful online comics site, has large reproductions from Abner Dean's brilliant 1947 book, What Am I Doing Here? Via: Boingboing

Griddleville: amazing cartoon made entirely by one dude.

"QUOTE" The most creative guy I knew in high school was this kid Ba Blackstock. He drew hilarious cartoons, directed theatrical adaptations of Dan Clowes comics and made crazy short movies.

Later, he spent years of his life making this cartoon. He went old-school, penciling by hand over a light board (he's entirely self-taught). Then he inked and colored it and added 3D stuff digitally. Of course, he nearly lost his mind in the process.

The resulting cartoon speaks for itself. LINK, Via: Youtube

NOTE: this is just one chapter. I recommend watching the whole 14 minute thing (link.)
