Mickey Mouse
"Mickey Mouse" Ni Ugoku (Move over Mickey) Cartoons are what most children grow up on. Watching the wacky antics of the talking cartoon animals and comically drawn human characters can amuse a child to no end. Yet when a child grows up, cartoons are no longer a socially acceptable and other forms of entertainment have to be found. Cartoons are classified as juvenile. This is just a tiny glimpse of an American view on American cartoons. It is true that cartons are basically made for children, but what about teenagers and adults? To distinguish between the two groups, (children and teens/adults), we'll call children's television "cartoons", and teen/adults television "animation". According to Webster's dictionary cartoons are "satirical drawings..." whereas animation is described as a "motion picture..." Animation is a form of cartooning that is taken to a more sophisticated level. Plus animation can be enjoyed by a wider variety of audience. Unfortunately, animators in America try to appeal to a younger market such as children and worry not about the older set of people that enjoy cartoons. This is how animation is different because it can be funny and enjoyed by all, but without the wacky and silly hijinks of "satiri
To make a generality, Japanese Animation is the happy medium between the age gap of children and teens/adults plus it can be enjoyed by both groups. These cartoons exaggerate upon certain bodily or facial features to get some kind of point across. This group depends entirely on the market. (For this example, let's assume that the word "cartoonish" mean unrealistic and exaggerated). This minority group can be compared to the artist of America because they don't try to have too much meaning in their works, but just enough to make a point (Post). This form of art almost has a mind of its own and the public controls it. This phenomenal craze hit Japan in 1997 and it bombarded American coasts in 1999 (Time). If you don't like the video game, but you like to watch the TV instead then you're set. In Japan, animation is a growing industry like electronic stores in America. This film grossed 160 million dollars in Japan. There is usually not much substance to their works and they are usually short, but they do have transcendental meanings(Post). In Japanese animation, people are drawn very realistically and there isn't really a time when teasing and making fun of something or someone is necessary.
