>>> EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO LEARN ABOUT COMEDY, I LEARNED WATCHING

WARNER BROTHERS CARTOONS. >> THERES A PART OF US THATS

FOREVER 12 YEARS OLD. >> I AM A MAN.

>> FOR KIDS IT SEEMS KIND OF ADULT.

>> COMEDIANS MAKE GOOD VOICE ACTORS BECAUSE THEYVE MADE A

CAREER BEING THEMSELVES. >> THERES TREMENDOUSLY FUNNY

LINES IN "TOY STORY". >> THE WRITING, THE VOICE

TALENT, ANIMATION, BOOM.

♪ >>> THERES SOMETHING ABOUT

MOVING CARTOONS THAT REALLY DELIGHTS US.

A CARTOON IS COMEDY COMING TO LIFE.

THATS KIND OF INTERESTING AND MAGICAL.

>> THATS IT. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR TOM

FOOLERY. >> THE WILDEST THING YOU CAN

THINK OF IS ACCOMPLISHED JUST BY DRAWING IT.

SO WHETHER ITS THE SIMPSONS, FAMILY GUY, YOUR IMAGINATION IS

UNLIMITED IN ANIMATION. >> IN ANIMATION, YOU CAN LIKE

HAVE PEOPLE RIPPING APART EACH OTHERS GUTS.

>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. >> ONE THING THAT I LIKE TO SAY

IS THAT LIVE ACTION IS LOW BUDGET ANIMATION.

>> IT CAN BE TAUGHT. >> THE VISUAL JOKES, THE BEST OF

THEM ARE OFTEN IN ANIMATED CARTOONS.

>> IS TO BE BEING NERVOUS, KID. >> HES THE MOST GENTLE DENTIST

IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. >> COMEDY HAS BEEN TO MOVE MORE

AND MORE TOWARDS ANIMATION. >> CARTOONS, IF THEYRE DONE

RIGHT, CAN CONVEY COMEDY VERY PRECISELY.

AND IF YOU THINK OF IT AND ITS FUNNY, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

>> ANIMATION AND COMEDY GOES RIGHT BACK TO THE EXTREME

BEGINNING OF FILM. >> AT THE END OF THE 20s, START

OF THE 30s, COMEDY SHORTS WERE VERY POPULAR IN CINEMA.

SO THE BIG STARS WERE PEOPLE LIKE CHARLIE CHAPLIN, BUSTER

KEATON, CARTOONS WERE FILM SHORTS SHOWN IN THEATERS.

EARLY CARTOONS ARE LOADED WITH STARRING CHARACTERS LIKE COCOA

THE CLOWN AND FELIX THE CAT. BUT THEN MICKEY MOUSE COMES

ALONG AND IS CONSIDERED THE FIRST SOUND CARTOON CHARACTER.

♪ >> NOT ONLY DID WALT DISNEY ADD

SOUND WITH THE FIRST MICKEY MOUSE CARTOON, BUT THEY WERE

FUNNY SOUNDS. >> AT THE TIME THERES NO

ANIMATION TO LOOK AT BECAUSE NO ONE WAS DOING ANIMATION.

SO THEY LOOKED AT CHAPLIN OR BUSTER

BUSTER KEATON OR LAUREL AND HARDY.

IT WAS ABOUT SILENCE. THAT WAS A GOOD WAY FOR THEM TO

HONE UP ANIMATION SKILLS. >> CHAPLIN SAID MICKEY MOUSE IS

GOING TO PUT ME OUT OF WORK. THE MOUSE COULD DO, MAGICALLY,

ALMOST ANYTHING. >> MEANWHILE, THE STUDIO WAS

THEIR RIVAL. THEYRE GRITTIER AND DIRTIER AND

A LOT OF WEIRD CHARACTERS. >> IT HAD A TENDENCY TO FEEL

MORE ADULT THAN THE OTHER STUDIOS.

BETTY BOOP HAD THIS GARTER THAT FELL DOWN AND SLIPPED UP.

THERE WAS A SEX COMPONENT TO HER.

WHEN POP EYE AND BLUTO FOUGHT, IT WAS VERY VIOLENT.

>> POPEYE, AS FAR AS ART GOES, ITS A FUNNY DRAWING.

IT MAKES YOU LAUGH. >> ILL SQUISH YOUR BRAINS OUT,

YOU BET. >> AND HE WASNT NASTY OR

VIOLENT OR ANYTHING, IT WAS JUST HE GOT PUT UPON.

HE WAS NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. MEANWHILE, HE COULD KICK

ANYBODYS BUTT. >> POPEYE CARTOONS HAD A BEAT TO

THEM. YOU CAN ALMOST TELL THEYRE MADE

WITH A METRONOME GOING BACK AND FORTH.

ALL MOVING WITH THE SAME BEAT. IT WAS FANTASTIC.

THIS IS FLEISCHER IN THE 30s. >> IM POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN.

>> WALT DISNEY WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS GENUINELY INTERESTED IN

PUSHING THE ENTIRE MEDIUM FORWARD.

>> THERES A REASON DISNEY BECAME FAMOUS.

THE QUALITY OF THEIR ANIMATION WAS UNPARALLELED.

IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. >> BY THE LATE 1930s, DISNEY WAS

NOW DOING "SNOW WHITE," THESE ELABORATE FAIRY TALES,

BEAUTIFULLY DONE, SPECTACULAR, THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY IS

TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH DISNEY. BUT SOME STUDIOS LOOKED AT THAT

AND SAID WERE GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH.

>> LOONEY TUNES WAS ALL ABOUT GAGS MAKING YOU LAUGH, WHEN THEY

SHOWED THOSE CARTOONS IN MOVIE THEATERS BEFORE A WARNER

BROTHERS MOVIE, THEY WOULD KILL FOR AN AUDIENCE OF ADULTS IN THE

THEATER. >> SHOOT IT LOW.

YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS. HE DOESNT HAVE TO SHOOT YOU

NOW. >> HE DOES HAVE TO SHOOT ME NOW.

I DEMAND THAT YOU SHOOT ME NOW. >> THE DUCK SEASON, RABBIT

SEASON EXCHANGE TO THIS DAY, IF I WATCH IT, I LAUGH HYSTERICALLY

BECAUSE YOU KNOW ITS COMING, BUT WATCHING DAFFY DUCK STEP

INTO IT EVERY SINGLE TIME IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

>> NOT AGAIN. >> THE TIMING IN THOSE CARTOONS

IS SO GREAT. AND IT WAS UNIVERSAL COMEDY.

YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW MUCH TO UNDERSTAND WHY BUGS BUNNY AND

ELMER FUD ARE FUNNY. >> KILL THE RABBIT, KILL THE

RABBIT, KILL THE RABBIT. >> KILL THE RABBIT?

>> BUGS BUNNY IS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL COMEDIANS OF ALL

TIME. I DONT THINK THERES ANYONE

FROM MY GENERATION OF COMEDY WHO DIDNT LEARN HOW TO TIME A JOKE

FROM BUGS BUNNY. >> OF COURSE YOU REALIZE THIS

MEANS WAR. >> WARNER BROTHERS CAR TOONS, I

THINK THEY GOT PERSONALITIES RIGHT.

YOU HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT STARS, YOU HAD BUGS AND YOU HAD DAFFY

AND YOU HAD ELMER FUD, YOSEMITE SAM, THE ROADRUNNER, THE COYOTE.

THATS QUITE A LOT. THEY DID PRETTY GOOD.

>> THE ANIMATED STARS WERE AS BIG AS ANY MOVIE STAR,

CERTAINLY, THAT WE KNEW, AND AS CHILDREN THEY WERE MUCH BIGGER.

>> AUDIENCES COULD RELATE TO THESE CHARACTERS.

>> WE SAW OURSELVES IN MICKEY. HE WAS US.

HE WAS THE SMALL GUY FIGHTING AGAINST THE SYSTEM.

BUGS BUNNY WHO WAS KIND OF A BROOKLYN STREET FIGHTER, THEY

REPRESENTED US. AND USUALLY THE BAD GUYS WERE

THE LANDLORDS, THE BOSS, THE HUNTER, THE PERSON WHO WAS

TAKING AWAY SOMETHING FROM US. AND WE COULD LAUGH AT THEIR

ANTICS. WHAT THEYRE DOING TO GET BACK.

IT MADE US FEEL BETTER. IT EMPOWERED US.

>> BUGS BUNNY, DAFFY DUCK, WILEY COYOTE, THOSE GUYS TO ME WERE

THE BEST EXECUTORS OF COMEDY EVER, IF YOURE STILL LAUGHING

60 YEARS LATER AT A JOKE, THATS BRILLIANT.

>>> TELEVISION BECOMES A MAJOR COMPETITOR FOR MOVIES STARTING

IN 1950, BECAUSE OF THE FILM TV STUDIOS STARTING TO SLASH THEIR

BUDGETS. EVERY MAJOR FILM STUDIO HAD AN

ANIMATION DIVISION. SUDDENLY BY THE LATE 50s ALMOST

NONE OF THEM DO. >> YOUVE GOT PEOPLE LIKE HENNA

AND JOE BARBARA WINNING OSCARS FOR TOM & JERRY CARTOONS,

THEYRE OUT OF WORK, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?

THEY PITCHED THE IDEA OF A PRIMETIME ADULT‐ORIENTED SITCOM.

>> THE FLINTSTONES, LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON TV?

WELL, HERE IT IS. >> THE FLINTSTONES, THATS A

KIDS CARTOON, THATS NOT FAMILY GUY.

BUT IT WAS IN 1960. LOOK AT THE FIRST TWO SEASONS OF

THE FLINTSTONES, THEYRE ALL ADULT SITUATIONS.

THE SHOW ITSELF IS A PARODY OF SITCOMS AT THE TIME.

>> DONT YOU GET IT? THIS PLACE IS A GOLD MINE, IF WE

COULD BUY IT, WE COULD GET RICH AND BE OUR OWN BOSSES.

>> THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. ITS SURE FIRE.

>> MANY PEOPLE SAY DID YOU COPY THE HONEYMOONERS.

THATS THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT YOU CAN GIVE ME.

BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE ALL THE GUYS IN THERE WHICH WERE THE

WINDOW DRESSING. >> OH, BOY, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO

WALK. >> THE WAY TO SELL A TV SHOW IN

THOSE DAYS WAS TO MAKE IT AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE.

>> IN LIMITED ANIMATION YOURE NOT GOING TO ANIMATE THE FULL

BODY OF THE CHARACTER. YOUVE GOT MORE LEVELS ON EACH

CHARACTER. THERES BACKGROUND, AND THEN

THERES THE HEAD AND THE BODY. AND WERE JUST GOING TO ANIMATE

THE LIPS ON HIS MOUTH. >> HANNAH BARBERA CARTOONS WERE

NO BONES, LOW BUDGET, BUT IT DIDNT MATTER BECAUSE THE

DIALOGUE WAS SO SNAPPY AND CLEVER.

>> DID YOU GET YOUR PAPER, DEAR? >> YEAH, AND IM LUCKY, IT ONLY

COMES ONCE A WEEK. >> ONCE AGAIN, YOULL KNOW ITS

TIME FOR THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE.

>> THE JAY WARD STUDIO DID ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE BECAUSE IT WAS

POPULAR AS ADULTS. IT KEPT WINKING AT ITSELF SAYING

THIS IS A KIDS CARTOON. >> I WONDER WHY THEYRE SHOOTING

AT US. >> MUST BE FROM A RIVAL NETWORK.

>> THE END OF THE THEATRICAL CARTOON ERA IS KIND OF SAD

BECAUSE THE MONEY WENT AWAY AND THE ENTHUSIASM WENT AWAY WITH IT

AND TV ANIMATION WAS MORE OF A FACTORY BUSINESS THAN AN

INSPIRED BUSINESS. >> HERE COME THE BEARS.

>> BY THE 1970s, THE IDEA OF A CREATOR DRIVEN ANIMATED SERIES

WAS PRETTY MUCH GONE IN GENERAL. THERE WAS MUCH MORE OF AN

EMPHASIS ON ADVERTISING. THERE WAS A BIG GAP ON SATURDAY

MORNINGS. PEOPLE SAID, WELL, WHOS

WATCHING TV AT THAT TIME? THE ANSWER WAS KIDS.

>> IT WAS TELEVISION THAT PUT CARTOONS INTO THE ARENA OR

GHETTO, IF YOU WILL, OF SATURDAY MORNING.

BEFORE TV, CARTOONS WERE FOR EVERYBODY.

THERES A STRAITJACKET PUT ON ANIMATION THAT YOU COULDNT BE

AS FUNNY AS YOU WANTED TO BE, OH, ITS FOR KIDS AND IT CANT

BE THIS INTERESTING. >> DIDNT ANYONE EVER TELL YOU

ITS NOT POLITE TO GRAB? >> BY THE 80s, WE WERE INTO

POUND PUPPIES, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, A LOT OF

MERCHANDISING OPPORTUNITIES, BUT THEY WERE SORT OF WAYS TO SELL

PRODUCT RATHER THAN WAYS TO ENTERTAIN OR AMUSE KIDS.

>> EDDY? >> YEAH.

>> BRING IN THE GUYS. >> RALPH BAKSHI WAS A MENTOR,

AND TOGETHER WITH A LOT OF OTHER ANIMATORS, THEY CONSPIRED TO

CREATE CARTOONS AS A VEHICLE FOR COMEDY AND HAVE THEM REFLECT AN

ANIMATOR SENSIBILITY, MAKE THEM FUNNY AND WHACKY FOR THE SAKE OF

FUNNY AND WHACKY. >> CAN MIGHTY MOUSE SAVE THE DAY

FOR NETWORK TELEVISION? >> HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY.

>> THE NEW ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY MOUSE CAME ON AND IT WAS TOTALLY

DISREGARDING THE THINGS THAT YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO, AND

IT WAS LIKE, OH, THERES SOMETHING NEW HAPPENING IN

ANIMATION, THERES SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.

>> THE MIGHTY MOUSE SHOW WAS FAST PACED, FUNNY, SILLY, IT HAD

WEIRD CHARACTERS IN IT, LITTLE SEGMENTS THAT ALMOST MADE NO

SENSE, THE NON SEQUITUR KIND OF HUMOR, NO ONE WAS DOING THAT

KIND OF STUFF AT THE TIME. >> I HAVENT SEEN THIS MUCH HAIR

SINCE BROOK SHIELDS TRIMMED HER EYEBROWS.

>> THE SERIES HAD CONTROVERSIAL ELEMENTS, ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN

BEING THE SUPPOSED SNIFFING OF COCAINE.

>> I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE LIKE THAT.

>> THERE WAS A FAMOUS EPISODE WHERE MIGHTY MOUSE SNIFFED A

FLOWER, AND BECAME STRONG AND FLIES AWAY.

THIS PREACHER LED A PROTEST SAYING THAT THIS WAS A METAPHOR

FOR COCAINE USE AND THAT THIS CARTOON SHOW SHOULD BE

CANCELLED. AND THE PRESSURE CAMPAIGN

SUCCEEDED. SO THE NETWORK LISTENED TO THIS

GROUP RATHER THAN THE ANIMATORS THEMSELVES WHO SAID THAT WAS

NEVER ON OUR MINDS TO BEGIN WITH.

>> THE ART IS WERE PUSHING, BUT THEYD GET SHUT DOWN BECAUSE

THEY HAD WHAT THEY CALLED OUTRAGEOUS IDEAS OF SUBVERSION.

THATS THE MEAT OF ANY CARTOON. >> THE NEW ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY

MOUSE INSPIRED A NEW GENERATION OF ANIMATORS WHO MADE CARTOONS

THEY WANTED TO MAKE, THAT THEY THOUGHT WERE FUNNY.

>> SPIKE & MIC WASKE WAS A TOURI FILM FESTIVAL.

THEY COLLECTED ANIMATED SHORTS AND THEY HAD THIS ONE COLLECTION

FOR GROWN UPS. >> IT WOULD FEATURE EARLY MIKE

JUDGE CARTOONS. >> OKAY, BUT IM GOING TO SET

THE BUILDING ON FIRE. >> LUPO, THE BUTCHER, A GORY

CARTOON. SPIKE & MIKE HAD TABOO THINGS

FROM CARTOONS, GORE AND SEX. >> BEFORE THE INTERNET, THEY

WERE CRITICAL, THEY WERE CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH AN

AUDIENCE THAT THEY JUST OTHERWISE WOULDNT HAVE HAD.

>> ALL OF US WHO ARE WORKING IN THAT BUSINESS, WE WOULD TRY TO

SLIP SOMETHING IN THATS FUNNY OR PITCH A SHOW THAT WAS FUNNY.

SO WHEN NEW OPPORTUNITIES CAME ALONG TO WORK ON SOMETHING THAT

WE THOUGHT COULD BLOSSOM INTO ACTUALLY A FUNNY ANIMATED SHOW

WE WERE ALWAYS EAGER TO JUMP AT THAT.

>> THERE WE ARE. >> IT MAY BE AN ‐‐ CHANNEL, BUT

THE SIMPSONS ARE ON TV.

>>> I WAS BROUGHT IN FOR THE

VOICE OF LISA. WHEN I SHOWED UP THE AUDITION

PIECE WAS ON THE TABLE AND THERE WAS A PICTURE OF LISA, BUT RIGHT

NEXT TO HER WAS THE PICTURE OF BART.

IT SAID 10 YEARS OLD, UNDERACHIEVER, PROUD OF IT,

TROUBLEMAKER, AND IM LIKE, OH, MAN, YEAH.

>> EAT MY SHORTS. >> ALL RIGHT, EAT YOUR SHORTS?

>> YOU COULD HAVE LOOKED AT TV GUIDE, ANY ISSUE DURING THE 60s,

AND I WAS WATCHING THAT EPISODE OF THE FLINTSTONES OR THE

JETSONS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THOSE TV

SHOWS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. THEY WERE DISAPPOINTING TO ME.

I SAID SOME DAY IF I HAVE MY OWN TV SHOW IM GOING TO DO IT

DIFFERENT. >> IN THE 80s THERE WAS A YOUNG

CREW OF ANIMATORS AND A YOUNG CREW OF WRITERS WHO DIDNT HAVE

PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF WHAT ANIMATION SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT

DO. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF BREAKING

OUT OF THE THREE CAMERA SITCOM THAT YOU COULD DO IN ANIMATION,

TO QUOTE MONTY PYTHON, MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO ALONG.

>> IS THERE ANY FRONTAL NUDITY? >> NO, HOMER.

>> THE LINES ON THE SIMPSONS ARE SO SHARP AND IM SO IMPRESSED

THE VOLUME OF GOOD JOKES AND THE QUALITY OF THE JOKES.

IT WAS A LEGENDARY WRITERS ROOM, LONG BEFORE I GOT THERE.

>> THIS SUBVERTED THE FAMILY SITCOM.

IN FACT, IT WAS THE MOST REALISTIC PORTRAYAL OF THE

FAMILY, WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE IT WAS A CARTOON.

>> THE SIMPSONS IS THE HOTTEST NEW SERIES ON TELEVISION.

IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE ANIMATED SERIES, ITS ABOUT A FAMILY JUST

LIKE YOURS. >> WE HAD KIDS BACK TALKING TO

THEIR PARENTS. MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE IN ANIMATED

FORMAT YOU DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE THAT.

>> HERES BART SIMPSON THE MOST POPULAR CHARACTER ON TELEVISION

RIGHT NO AND EWEWE TALKED TO THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHO IS BANNING

BART SIMPSON T‐SHIRTS. >> THERES ALWAYS SOMEBODY LYING

IN BED AWAKE AT NIGHT SEETHING BECAUSE KIDS FIND SOMETHING

REALLY FUN. ITS A CONTROVERSY OF THE WEEK.

>> ALL SHE NEEDED WAS FOR THAT BIG SLOB TO SHE HER SOME

RESPECT. AT LEAST THATS WHAT I THOUGHT.

I HAVE A HISTORY OF MISSING A POINT AT STUFF LIKE THIS.

>> HOMER, YOU GOT IT JUST RIGHT. >> THE REASON THAT SHOW HOLDS

TOGETHER IS THAT ITS A FAMILY. IT SOUNDS CORNY, BUT IT IS A

FAMILY. THEY DO LOVE EACH OTHER AND

THEYRE TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE FAMILY UNIT.

THATS THE OLDEST STORY THERE IS.

>> IS YOUR MOTHER THERE? NO?

>> GOOD, WELCOME TO OUR SECRET HEADQUARTERS.

DEEP INSIDE THE LOWER INTESTINE OF A SPERM WHALE.

>> OH, GOD, GOD ‐‐ >> ANIMATION IS MOST SUCCESSFUL

WHEN IT IS FULLY CREATOR DRIVEN. YOU THEN HAVE JOHN KAY MAKING

REN & STIMPY, PUTTING AN ADULT CARTOON ON A MILD KIDS NETWORK.

ANIMATION HAD NEVER BEEN THAT GROSS, THE BOOGERS.

ANIMATION WASNT THE SAME AFTER THAT.

>> I PICKED THEM MYSELF. >> IT WAS REALLY DIFFERENT, THE

GAGS WERE DIFFERENT, DRINKING FROM A TOILET BOWL.

THEY BROKE ALL THESE RULES AND YOU WONDER WHY WERE THOSE RULES

IN PLACE? >> REN & STIMPY HAD THIS GREW OF

GREAT ARTISTS AND ANIMATORS, THE MORE THEY COULD DO IT ALL

THEMSELVES THE BETTER THE CARTOON WOULD BE, THEY WERE

ADDING FUNNY ANIMATED TOUCHES AND TWITCHES.

>> REN & STIMPY CREATED A RENAISSANCE OF NEW ANIMATION

WITH DIALOGUE AND VISUAL GAGS AND CHARACTERS AND VOICE ACTORS

THAT WE STILL EXPERIENCE TODAY. >> THIS NEW ERA OF ANIMATION,

CREATOR DRIVEN ANIMATION IS EXPLODING IN THE EARLY 90s.

AND MTV SEES THIS AND GOES, WE NEED SOME WAY TO HARNESS THIS.

>> MAYBE YOU SHOULD STICK YOUR WIENER IN THE BUG ZAPPER.

>> YEAH, YEAH. THATS A REALLY GOOD IDEA, BUTT

HEAD. >> LETS GET THIS DOWN HERE.

THERE WE GO. >> BEEVUS AND BUTTHEAD WAS

AMAZING BECAUSE ADULTS DIDNT GET IT.

>> WHAT IS IT? >> ITS PART OF THE DUMBING DOWN

OF TELEVISION. SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY

CELEBRATE UNDERACHIEVEMENT. >> YEAH, AND HE KEEPS SAYING HE

NEEDS TP FOR HIS BUNG HOLE. WHAT THE HELL IS A BUNG HOLE?

>> THOSE SAME FORCES THAT HAD HARASSED JOHN ‐‐ WITH THE NEW

ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY MOUSE WERE NOW HARASSING MTV AND MIKE JUDGE

SAYING ITS A BAD INFLUENCE ON KIDS, NOT REALIZING IT WASNT AN

INFLUENCE ON THE GENERATION, BUT A REFLECTION OF THE GENERATION.

>> IT WAS GREAT FOR EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS, TWO IMBECILES THAT HAD

NOTHING TO DO ALL DAY. YOU CAN WRITE A LOT ABOUT THAT.

>> HEY, BUTTHEAD CAN I SET THIS DOWN, MY HANDS ARE GETTING

TIRED. >> NO WAY, BE AVIS.

>> THEYRE ALL SUCCEEDING. ITS ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME

TIME THAT CABLE IS TAKING OFF. AND NOW THE STUDIOS WERE WISING

UP. WELL, IF WE GET ONE GREAT NUT TO

RUN A SHOW, AND THEY REALLY KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING, IT COULD

WORK OUT. >> WE GOT OUT OF SCHOOL.

NO MORE SCHOOL TODAY. WE GOT OUT OF SCHOOL.

>> OH, YOU GUYS, MY EYES. >> IF YOU HAVENT YET HEARD

ABOUT SOUTH PARK, YOURE ABOUT TO.

CRITICS HAVE PRAISED THE SHOW AS BRILLIANTLY FUNNY, BUT MANY SEE

ONLY A LEWD, OFFENSIVE CARTOON UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.

>> IT WAS THE NEXT STEP IN THE EVOLUTION OF ANIMATION.

THE SIMPSONS OPENED THE DOOR, AND SOUTH PARK KICKED THE DOOR

DOWN. >> CHILDREN, IM GLAD YOURE

HERE. I CALL THEM CHEFS CHOCOLATE ‐‐

>> THESE ARE GOOD. I LOVE YOUR SALTED CHOCOLATE ‐‐

>> THEY PUSHED THE CULTURE, CHALLENGED THE CULTURE.

I THINK ADULTS CONNECTED TO IT BECAUSE OF THAT REASON.

THEY APPRECIATED THE SATIRE AND HOW IT ATTACKED CERTAIN

INSTITUTIONS. >> OH, YEAH, BECAUSE IT WAS A

CARTOON. YOU PUT YOUR DEFENSES DOWN.

>> ITS VERY DISRESPECTFUL, AND ANIMATION IS A GREAT WAY TO

REALLY TURN THE DISRESPECT INTO A WHOLE WORLD.

>> DONT BOTHER WITH NEW GHOST BUSTERS, NOT FUNNY, CHICKS

RUINED IT. CAN WE GET ICE CREAM NOW?

I WANT TO GET THE TASTE OF ASS OUT OF MY MOUTH.

>> THEY HAVE NO FEAR OF BOUNDARIES.

>> THEY ADDRESS SO MANY THINGS SO SMARTLY, AND THERES A LOT OF

POO, POO, FART JOKES IN THERE, BUT PEOPLE DONT CONSIDER IT

WHEN THEY CONSIDER SMART ANIMATION COMEDY.

>> THIS WEEK "SOUTH PARK" HAS GONE OUT ON SYNDICATION.

ITS AMAZING. LOOK HOW MUCH THEY HAVE TO CUT

OUT. TO WATCH THE FIRST SEASON, THEY

DONT CUT ANYTHING OUT. >> ITS VERY INTERESTING TO ME

HOW ENDURING SOME OF THOSE SHOWS ARE.

THATS UNUSUAL FOR TV SHOWS TO BE ON THIS LONG, GUYS,

ESPECIALLY COMEDIES. >> THATS A CARTOON, MILLIONS OF

PEOPLE WATCH IT, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THERES A CARTOON ON

TELEVISION THAT MADE FUN OF JEWS ALL THE TIME, HUH?

>>> HOW DO YOU ‐‐ PLEASED TO

MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE. HELLO.

>> ANIMATION IS OFTEN DRIVEN BY DISTINCTIVE GREAT VOICES, AND

THOSE VOICES CONTRIBUTED AS MUCH AS ANYTHING TO THE PERSONALITIES

AND THE SUCCESS OF THOSE CHARACTERS.

>> I HAVE TO CREATE A VOICE FOR EACH CHARACTER.

THEY SHOW ME THE CHARACTER, AND BUGS I COULD SEE WAS A TOUGH

LITTLE STINKER, AND I THOUGHT, WHICH IS THE TOUGHEST VOICE IN

THIS COUNTRY, EITHER BROOKLYN OR THE BRONX?

>> SO I PUT THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER, DOC.

WHATS UP, DOC? >> NOBLANK WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE

ACTOR. EVERY ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS

HAD A SOUL AND A PERSONALITY AND A HISTORY.

HE WASNT LIKE A WITTY COLLECTION OF VOICES.

>> VOICE ACTING ISNT AS EASY AS WE THINK IT IS.

YOU DONT HAVE YOUR FACE NOW SO YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR VOICE TO

CONVEY THE COMEDY. >> ONCE YOU CREATE A VOICE YOU

NEVER FORGET IT. >> PORKY PIG WILL COME ALONG,

SUFFERING SUCCOTASH. I SAW A PUTTY CAT.

>> HE LED THE WAY FOR GUYS LIKE ME.

>> SEAL OF APPROVAL, ONLY FIND IT ON PRODUCTS WHICH MEET THE

HIGH PERSONAL STANDARDS OF CRUSTY THE CLOWN.

>> THE VOICE TALENT ON THE SIMPSONS IS A POINT OF

INSPIRATION, THERES ALWAYS SOMETHING GREAT FROM THE VOICE

ACTING THAT YOU CAN MINE FOR PERFORMANCES, HOW YOURE GOING

TO DIRECT THE SHOTS, AND OVERALL THE LOOK OF THE CHARACTERS GET

INSPIRED BY THE VOCAL CHOICES. >> YOU ALMOST START DRAWING

CHARACTERS FOR THE VOICE PERSON YOU HAVE IN MIND.

PEOPLE LIKE TRESS McNEIL AND BILLY WEST.

>> I LOOKED AT THESE CHARACTERS AND THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE

I OPENED MY MOUTH. PHILLIP JAY FRYE.

>> SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. >> DR. ZOIDBERG HAD ALL THIS

COOL MEAT HANGING ON HIS FACE. I THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE AN

IMPEDIMENT. >> HERE I COME.

>> FROM THE SIMPSONS, I LOVED DOING AGNES SKINNER, ITS A

VOICE EASY FOR ME TO DO, IM GOING TO BE HER ONE DAY VERY

SOON. AND DOT, OF COURSE IS THE ONE

SISTER, SHES THE CUTE ONE. >> THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALL KIND

OF WARM AND SQUISHY. EITHER THAT OR I NEED TO WEAR

DIAPERS. >> ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIT

BACK AND LET THEM DO THEIR THING.

>> BUT NEVER DUPLICATE ‐‐ GENIE OF THE LAMP.

>> THATS ROBIN WILLIAMS, OF COURSE, AS THE VOICE AND

INSPIRATION OF THE GENIE IN THE BOTTLE IN ALADDIN, HES THE REAL

STAR OF THE MOVIE, AN EXTRAORDINARY PRESSERFORMANCE, T

PERFECT MELDING OF A TALENT AND ART FORM.

ROBIN WILLIAMS IS AN ANIMATED CHARACTER.

>> HE WASNT JUST READING THE SCRIPT WITH HIS FUNNY VOICES, HE

WAS WINGING IT, HE WAS IMPROVISING.

AND THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO USE SOME OF THAT.

THIS GENIE IS GOING TO BE WHAT ITS LIKE TO WATCH ROBIN

WILLIAMS ON STAGE. >> CONCLUDE LOOK AT THOSE FANGS.

I COULD HAVE BEEN A CONTENDER. >> I CANT IMAGINE WHAT ROBIN

WILLIAMS WAS LIKE AS THAT GENIE. IT IS DEFINITELY ROBINS DEAL TO

AD LIB. >> THIS OPENED UP A DOOR FOR

PUTTING ACTORS IN ANIMATION. >> YOU WERENT THE REAL BUZZ

LIGHT YEAR, YOURE AN ACTION FIGURE.

YOU ARE A CHILDS PLAY THING. >> YOU ARE A SAD, STRANGE LITTLE

MAN, AND YOU HAVE MY PITY. FAREWELL.

>> THEY TRIED A DISK JOCKEY VOICE.

VERY SELF‐AWARE, AND HE WAS ALSO VERY CONFIDENT, AND I WENT A

LITTLE DUMBER. ITS FILLED WITH BRA VAUVADO, HE

GOT NOTHING BUT HEART, BUT HE IS ALSO OBLIVIOUS.

>> VOICE ACTING, THE VALUE ON IT HAS CHANGED COMPLETELY.

IT USED TO BE ABOUT A GUY LIKE MEL BLANK WHO COULD DO MULTIPLE

VOICES, NOW YOU HIRE AN ACTOR TO DO ONE VOICE, AND ITS USUALLY

THEIRS. >> NOW MY EVIL POWER WILL BE

UNLIMITED, YOU FEEL ME? >> I CAN FEEL YOU.

>> COMEDIANS HAVE AN INHERENT UNDERSTANDING OF TIMING AND THEY

UNDERSTAND IMPROV MORE SO THAN A TRADITIONAL ACTOR.

>> THE JOKE DELIVERS. WHEN YOU PUT THEM IN A BOOTH,

THEY KNOW HOW TO HIT THE PUNCHLINE.

>> WITH SOMEBODY LIKE MIKE MYERS, HE ALWAYS DID CHARACTERS.

AND SO HE WAS BORN TO DO ANIMATION.

>> ID LIKE YOU TO MEET MY HUSBAND, "SHREK."

>> WELL, ITS EASY TO SEE WHERE FIONA GETS HER GOOD LOOKS FROM.

>> WORKING WITHOUT PROPS IS SOMETHING I WAS VERY, VERY USED

TO. I NEVER SAW EDDY MURPHY OR

ANTONIO BANDERAS THE WHOLE TIME. YOURE USED TO MAKING SOMETHING

OUT OF NOTHING. >> WE CAN STAY UP LATE, SWAPPING

MANLY STORIES AND IN THE MORNING IM MAKING WAFFLES.

>> EDDY MURPHYS VOICE ITSELF SOUNDS FUNNY, BUT HE CAN ALSO DO

VOICES. >> KEEP OUR PEOPLE DOWN, BUT WE

CAN USE IT TO KEEP THOSE SAME PEOPLE FROM STEALING YOUR

GO‐CART. >> AND VOICEOVER FOR ANIMATED

COMEDY, YOU NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN EMOTE THROUGH THEIR VOICE.

AND STANDUPS ARE SOME OF THE BEST VOICE EMOTERS.

>> COMEDIANS ARE VERY IN TOUCH WITH HOW THEY COME ACROSS.

THAT SKILL LENDS ITSELF TO VOICE ACTING.

>> THE MANATEE IS ENDANGERED, AND I THINK ITS BECAUSE ITS

OUT OF SHAPE. DOESNT A MANATEE LOOK LIKE A

GUEST ON THE RICKIE LAKE SHOW. >> WHAT YOUVE GOT TO DO IS GET

YOURSELF AN EDUCATION AND A JOB. I DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING

TO TALK ABOUT. YOURE FAT, YOU GOT TO GO TO

WEIGHT WATCHERS. I HAVE A LAYER OF BLUBBER TO ‐‐

>> HE WOULD INTERVIEW COMEDIANS IN SQUIGLE VISION.

>> I THOUGHT THE MANATEE WAS SUCH A WEIRD ANIMAL, AND SO I

CAME UP WITH SOME JOKES AND I HAD THIS VOICE THAT WENT WITH

IT. IT LENT ITSELF TO THIS DR. CATS

BIT. >> THERE WAS SOME BITS THAT WERE

VISUAL, IN FACT, I THOUGHT THE ANIMATION WAS COMPETING WITH

JOKES. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE

THAT WE WERE A TEAM. PEOPLE ASKED, HOW DO YOU GET

INTO VOICE ACTING? HE SAYS DO 15 YEARS OF STANDUP

COMEDY. THEYRE THE GREATEST VOICE

ACTORS IN THE WORLD IF THEYRE WILLING TO LONE US THEIR VOICE

AND ALL THE YEARS OF WISDOM CONTAINED IN THAT VOICE, YOURE

GOING TO GET THE GREAT VOICE ALMOST BY DEFINITION.

>> YOULL FINGER ANYTHING WITH A PULSE.

>> THE SLOGAN IS THERES FINGERS ON THE PULSE

>>> TONIGHT, WERE GOING TO PRESENT A SPECIAL FEATURE TAKING

YOU INSIDE THE WORLD OF THE ARTISTS AND THE FUNNY MEN WHO

CREATE THE MODERN TV CARTOON. >> A TRULY GREAT ANIMATED SHOW

IS EVERYTHING COMING TOGETHER PERFECTLY.

THE VOICES, MUSIC AND ANIMATION, TIMING, THE DIRECTING, EDITING,

EVERYTHING. >> WE, AS STUDENTS OF THE

MASTERS, ALWAYS WANT TO EMULATE THESE GREAT ANIMATORS OF THE

PAST. >> ONCE WE HAVE A DRAWING, WE

PUT DOWN THE DRAWING, TALK TO THE ANIMATOR, THEN WE HAVE TO

DECIDE HOW THE CHARACTERS DIFFER IN TERMS OF THEIR POSTURES, BY

THE WAY THEY STAND, WHO ARE THEY?

♪ >> CHUCK JONES CHARACTER

ANIMATIONS, THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS IN CARTOONS LIKE

FEED THE KITTY WHERE THE BIG BULLDOG IS PROTECTING THE LITTLE

KITTEN. THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, THATS

ALL CHUCK, LITERALLY HIS DRAWINGS ON THE SCREEN.

CHUCK JONES, WHO IS A GREAT MASTER, TIMER OF THE HELD ‐‐ YOU

KNOW, THE EYES THAT GO ‐‐ WHICH I JUST LEARN A LOT FROM THAT.

WE KNEW WE WERE IN A CARTOON WHEN YOU WATCHED A TEX AVERY

CARTOON. >> VISUALLY, AND VERBALLY, I

WOULD PLAY TO THE AUDIENCE AN AWFUL LOT.

>> THAT WASNT IN THE SCRIPT. >> I WANTED THEM AWARE THAT THEY

WERE OUT THERE, THAT I KNEW THEY WERE OUT THERE.

>> TEX AVERY IS KNOWN MOSTLY FOR HIS OUTRAGEOUS OR ZANY TYPES OF

ANIMATION. HIS SENSIBILITY IS TO PUSH THE

BOUNDARIES OF THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

>> IVE ALWAYS LIKED EXTRA JOKES, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY,

AND CARTOON WORLD IS A LAND OF EXTRA JOKES.

CLASSIC TEX AVERY JOKE IM SURE YOUVE SEEN WAS BASED ON HOW

PEOPLE VIEWED MOVIES IN THE THEATERS.

THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FILM.

HEY, YOU OUT THERE, GET THAT HAIR OUT OF HERE.

>> THATS THE BEAUTY OF ANIMATION.

THATS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT ANIMATION TO BE USED FOR, TO DO

AND SEE THINGS THAT YOUVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

AND CANT BE SHOWN IN LIVE ACTION.

>> THE TAPE YOURE WATCHING IS JUST A TASTE OF THE CARTOON

NETWORK, AN APPETIZER, A MERE MORSEL OF WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

FROM THE FIRST AND ONLY 24 HOUR CARTOON NETWORK.

>> CARTOON NETWORK WAS OWNED BY TURNER BROADCASTING WHO NOW

OWNED THE HANNABARBERA LIBRARY. THEY OWNED THE RIGHTS TO ALL

THESE CHARACTERS. >> BASICALLY, YOU HAVE A GROUP

OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING IN PROGRAMMING ON AIR MAKING

COMMERCIALS, CLEARLY VERY INSPIRED BY ALL OF THAT WARNER

BROTHERS LIBRARY. WERE LIKE, WOULDNT IT BE FUN

IF WE MADE SOMETHING LIKE OURSELVES.

>> WOW, SPACE GHOST MAN, CRACK A WINDOW, WILL YOU?

>> I WOULD BE VIOLENTLY SUCKED INTO SPACE.

>> HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD TUNE IN?

>> SPACE GHOST IS THE TURNING POINT.

ITS A SURREAL, LATE NIGHT TV SHOW THAT IS UNAPOLOGETICALLY

ADULT, USING KIDS CARTOONS. >> NOW, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT

WORKED ON THAT SHOW TODAY ARE THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS OF ADULT

SWIM. >> ALL KIDS OUT OF THE POOL FOR

ADULT SWIM. >> THEY BRANDED A BLOCK OF TIME

ON THE NETWORK THAT WOULD JUST BE FOR PROGRAMS AIMED AT ADULTS.

>> THEY SATIRIZED TRULY TERRIBLE CARTOONS AND MADE IT SEA LAB

2021, DUBBED OVER THE OLD ANIMATION, AND HAD THEM SAYING

RIDICULOUS WEIRD AND PREPOSTEROUS THINGS.

>> ITS LIKE A KOALA BEAR CRAPPED A RAINBOW IN MY BRAIN.

>> THE WHOLE THING WAS KEEP IT AS ABSOLUTELY CHEAP AS POSSIBLE.

KEEP IT CLEAN, WHAT CAN YOU DO? JUST GET WEIRD.

>> SMOKEY. >> YEAH, KID.

>> HOW DID YOU GET YOUR NAME? >> WELL ‐‐

>> SMOKEY, YOU ALWAYS GOT THE BEST WEED.

>> HELLO, LITTLE PAW. >> ADULTS NOT ONLY PROVIDED

CERTAIN ‐‐ VISIONS, BUT THE MOST PURE VERSION OF AN ‐‐ DIVISION.

>> OH, MAN, WHY DIDNT WE THINK TO BRING NO GUNS?

>> ADULT SWIM IS FEARLESS. THEY FIND VOICES THAT ARE

NORMALLY NORMALLY MARGINALIZED ON THE

MARRIAGE NETWORK. THEYRE FINDING THESE

COUNTERCULTURAL VOICES AND GIVING THEM A PLATFORM.

DOING THINGS TRADITIONAL NETWORKS ARE AFRAID TO DO.

>> I APPRECIATE YOU. >> COOL.

>> ARE YOU A SIMULATION? ARE YOU A SIMULATION?

>> NO, >> YOURE A GOOD KID.

>> OH MY GOD. >> WITH ANIMATION, YOU CAN DO

ANY JOKE YOU WANT. YOU CAN HAVE THE CHARACTERS BE A

BIT MEANER. YOU CAN HAVE THE JOKES POP A BIT

MORE BECAUSE ITS ALREADY NOT REAL.

ITS ANIMATION AND SO THERE IS MORE WIGGLE ROOM.

>> SORRY, HONEY. >> YEAH, WELL BRING YOU A

PRESENT. >> OH, BLOW ME.

>> WHY? YOU COULDNT FEEL IT.

>> WHAT ANIMATION ALLOWS YOU TO DO IS TO BE ANONYMOUS IN YOUR

ASSAULT ON OTHER PEOPLE. >> TWO WEEKS IN PRISON, TRUMPED

UP CHARGES. THAT TRIAL WAS A TOTAL SHAM.

>> I KNEW WE WERE IN TROUBLE THE MINUTE I SAW THE JURY.
