I cannot imagine myself being a part of the audience at the Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” show in 1797 because I am surrounded by technology far advanced than what they had, and it is hard for me to say whether or not I would have felt the same emotions that the audiences felt. I love horror and art so I would likely be fascinated than scared. Older horror movies most definitely scared me and gave me chills back then, but I don’t think I would’ve felt the same if I were to watch the Gaspard’s show back then either. Same goes with newer horror movies, I would end up feeling disappointed and bored and not feel the scariness that I felt back then. The only thing I would say that is probably close to what Gaspard showed in 1797 is analog horror. Take “The Man in The Suit” by Unkn0wingly as an example. They both show images with eerie sounds, and they both tell us a story but unlike Gaspard, Unkn0wingly tells us his story with texts on the images. I will admit that watching analog horror sometimes gives me the creeps and is one of the few things that can pretty much replicate how I felt when I watched those older horror movies back then.

I can name many animated films/Tv shows that I like and to be honest I don’t have a favorite film since I enjoy every single one of them. I enjoy the characters, I enjoy the story, I enjoy the music, but above all I really love the animations from those films/Tv shows. One great example is an animated film that was released in January 2020 called, “Weathering with You”. The animation in this film is outstanding. For those who don’t know the animation studio for this film, the name of the studio is called CoMix Wave Films. They have made incredible films before such as Your Name, The Garden of Words, Suzume, and more. The amount of detail that goes into these films are insane, it really makes any artist wonder how long it takes to animate a thirty second video with the same quality. It is also not just how detailed it looks that amazes me, it’s the physicality in some of the parts of the film. Another Film would definitely go to the Fate/Stay Night Heaven’s Feel Trilogy that released in 2024 done by an animated studio called Ufotable. Ufotable are well known for their animations in the Fate series and The Garden of Sinners. The fight scenes in the Fate series are breathtaking, and not to mention the godly music that plays along with it. Both animation studio outdoes themselves every time.
