Lets see the transformation of animation ( age of enlightenment )

Introducing a list of animations that i have watched since childhood.
 Animated Soviet Propaganda - American Imperialist (1933)

Felix The Cat And The Golden Goose (1936)
- Here we can see that animation are in colour. The characters unlike the previous video, each character have their own individual character and voice (audio)

Konjek-Gorbunok (hunchback horse russian animation (1947)

For this animation,we can see people starting to voice out their opinion. This film was banned for over 20 years in the mid-19th century as it made the Tsar appear foolish. Until 1856, the tale was published with dots representing omitted verses and songs in many sections. The tale is meant to be a satire on the absurdities of Russian feudal and bureaucratic life at the time. Today it is considered a classic children's fairy tale.

Walt Disney : The Little mermaid (1989)Here, we can see the improvement of animation. Animators were able to make the colours on the show more vivid and the outlines of the characters were darker. The fonts were improved and the sound of the show is alot more clearer. This is very apparent if you compare it with ( The little mermaid that was made in 1975)
 
 Today,we have our own animations which are japanese animations called anime. For example Princess Mononoke  (1997) or Howls moving castle (2004)

 I find that the characters have more expression however, unlike the old movies, people have reached the age of reason that instead of singing the characters should talk. However, why are there still some people who classify that an a good animation classic should have more singing ( such as the makers of walt disney show entangled )
