Cartoon Dog Pictures Definition
Source(google.com.pk)Mickey Mouse is one of the world's oldest and most famous vermin in the world - rubbing shoulders with everyone from Goofy to Britney Spears. So what makes this rambunctious rodent tick? We're taking a look at the history of Mickey Mouse. Why? Because we love him
Mickey Mouse was created to replace an earlier Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who bore a striking resemblance to early Mickey drawings. Mickey's creator, Ub Iwerks, came up with a lot of characters on his way to creating Mickey, including frogs, dogs, horses, cows and cats. Irwerks said he was inspired to create a mouse that had the spirit of Charlie Chaplin. Mickey made his first appearance in the cartoon Plane Crazy in 1928.
Mickey originally appeared in silent cartoons, but by the end of 1928 he appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie, which featured synchronized music and sound. Streamboat Willie acutally found a distributer before Plane Crazy did, so it's often considered Mickey's true "debut." Mickey whistled and made other noises in the short but didn't actually speak until 1929. Walt Disney himself voiced Mickey - his first line was "Hot dogs, hot dogs!" Most other film studios at the time were still producing silent cartoons, so Disney took the lead and never looked back.
Mickey continued to grow and evolve throughout the 20th century, moving into comic strips, feature films, video games, theme parks and a ton of games and toys. He first appeared in color in 1935, in the cartoon called "The Band Concert". He got his now-standard gloves in the 1929 short The Opry House. Mickey's appearance changed steadily from his creation onwards. What is often considered the "classic version" of Mickey is the one that was designed by Floyd Gottfredson. The most popular version, however, is the Mickey created by Italian illustrator Romano Scarpa.
The artist responsible for the famous paintings of poker dogs was Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, a jack of many trades who found his calling late in life when he was asked to paint a series depicting dogs playing poker for the advertising firm Brown and Bigelow.
Who knew that his art depicting gambling dogs would be popular for years to come and would grace the walls of every pool hall in the early half of the 1900s?Cassius Marcellus Coolidge was born 1844 in upstate New York to Quaker parents. He was a brilliant man with innovative ideas and an entrepreneurial instinct about art. He tried many things throughout his life, but it wasn't until his later years that he began to make a living doing what he loved: artwork and cartoons.
During the first 50 years of his life, Coolidge held a number of jobs but nothing held his interest for very long. He tried his hand as a bookkeeper, comic illustrator, druggist, journalist, author, inventor, etc.
The one consistent endeavor he held onto was his love of comics and art. Between jobs and in his free time, he would draw cartoons for area newspapers and would do caricatures of people.
One of his many elaborate projects was the writing of a comic opera concerning the elimination of mosquitoes. This opera was actually produced but it didn't make money.A little intro first… It goes without saying that as we grow older, we tend to reflect back on those things in our lives that influenced and shaped us in our childhood and adolescence – movies, music, television, advertisements, books, games and toys, and of course our family, friends, school and the people around us. Over the years most of us were exposed to a sensory overload of images – a lot of which kept us entertained , especially when we were bored, for hours on end. Case in point here are those childhood memories of those cartoons we watched on Saturday mornings and after-school – and it’s kind of amazing how many of these stuck in our sub-conscience minds over long periods of time.So with that being said… The focus on this particular post is on our beloved, faithful canine companions and friends that we welcomed into our homes each week. There should be quite a few familiar faces here that all generations can relate to, at least to American TV audiences, from the 1940's through the present. I’m sure there are some of these that you may still enjoy from time to time as you catch them in reruns, syndication or special programs that feature “a look back into pop culture”. I’m sure you’ll recognize some favorites here. The following gallery captures the majority of those that really stood out over the years. Many of these can be traced back to the early days of television (1940's), (a few are even currently on the air). Some evolved from movies, others from the comic strips and funny pages (with many of these dating back to the 1920's-1930's). Many classic Disney, Hanna-Barbera, Warner Brothers, MGM, Terrytunes, Nicktoons, Looney Tunes, etc.
