I believe Naruto is today’s most popular Japanese show in the U.S. Naruto is an action-packed anime and manga about a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki, who dreams of becoming the leader of his village, the Hokage. Naruto is an outcast because he has a dangerous fox demon sealed inside him, but he works hard to prove himself and protect his friends. Along the way, he faces powerful enemies, makes strong friendships, and learns what it means to be a true leader. The series was first published as a manga and later turned into two anime shows, Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden. It aired in Japan on TV Tokyo and became hugely popular in the U.S. through Cartoon Network and platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll. American fans love its underdog story, emotional characters, and exciting ninja battles. While it’s also popular in Japan, other series like One Piece are sometimes bigger there, but Naruto is famous worldwide.

Disney and other big studios stopped making 2D animated movies in the late 1990s and early 2000s because 3D animation, like in Toy Story and Shrek, was becoming more popular and successful. Some 2D movies didn’t make enough money, and studios thought audiences liked 3D better. They also saw 3D as faster and cheaper to make. While 3D animation brought amazing new movies, 2D’s unique style and charm were unfairly pushed aside. Today, 2D animation is still alive in some TV shows. Movies like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse even mix 2D and 3D, proving it still has a place in modern animation.

The movie I will be choosing is Spiderman Into the spider verse

The reason I chose this movie is because it is one of my favorite animated films and I love the story, he was troubled between what is right and wrong and is put in a position where it was a lose-lose.

Prompt wk 3

I think the reason that alot of early films were based on print comics was because it was the easiest thing to use because of the existing characters. The art was also simple which it made it easier to animate and since the characters already existed i feel like it was easier to bring in the fanbase.

Prompt 3

Yes i can imagine being in one Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797, i think i would of been excited and on the edge of my seat when it was going on because it was something new so i wouldn’t know what to expect. It reminds me of a thriller/horror movie because the way he adds smoke, hanging skeletons and all these little things on the side to make you feel like you’re really there. The show would also give the same vibes as a horror movie.
