Animation Professionals Over 90 Still Alive

10 years ago, Cartoon Brew had an article about animators from the Golden Age and beyond over a certain age still living.

https://www.cartoonbrew.com/animators/who-are-the-oldest-living-animation-artists-88196.html

Unfortunately, the lion's share of that group have since passed away, save for a handful of names. For this post, I would like to highlight (in age order) those from studios like Disney, Warner Brothers as well as independent bases that are around today who represent the last living links to old school animation. These include artists, directors and writers. Exclusive voice actors or animated music composers are not counted.

Happy Andersen Day and International Children's Book Day!

Illustration: The Wild Swans by Yvonne Gilbert.

[totallyhussein-blog]

Eleanor Marx and the matchgirls of London

Fearful of returning home to a violent father without having sold enough matches for the day, The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen remains on the street resigned to warming herself by lighting matches. 

With each match, she sees a vision; a warm stove, a table laden with hot food, a beautiful Christmas tree decorated with lights leading up to the sky, so high that one becomes a shooting star. 

According to her grandmother, each shooting star is a person who had recently passed on and is now heading to heaven. Her next strike brings a vision of her grandmother, the only person in the world who ever loved The Little Match Girl who takes her away in her warm embrace to heaven.

The Matchgirls' Strike of 1888 was an industrial action by the women and teenage girls working at the Bryant & May match factory in Bow, London. In the late nineteenth century, matches were made using sticks of poplar or Canadian pine wood, twice the length of the finished product.

The working conditions in the match factory had caused great discontent; with fourteen-hour workdays, poor pay, unjust fines, having no clean area to eat, and the severe health complications of working with allotropes of white phosphorus, which caused phosphorus necrosis also known as phosphorimus chronicus or phossy jaw. 

This discontent grew into open outrage with the dismissal of one of the workers in 1888. In the 1880s, Bryant & May employed nearly 5,000 people, most of them were female and Irish, or of Irish descent. In 1908 the House of Commons passed an Act prohibiting the use of white phosphorus in matches after the 31st of December 1910.

One of the leading supporters of the Matchgirls Strike was Eleanor Marx, one of the most overlooked figures in history and usually overshadowed by her father, Karl Marx. Not only did she collaborate with her father, but she also led an extraordinary life as a labour organiser, trade unionist, translator, actor, writer and feminist.

Yvonne Kapp’s biography on Eleanor Marx brilliantly succeeds in capturing Eleanor’s spirit, from a lively child to becoming the new woman, earning her living as a free intellectual, and helping to lead England’s unskilled workers at the height of the new Trade Union movement. 

She was always more than, yet at the same time inescapably, Karl Marx’s daughter. Eleanor Marx by Yvonne Kapp is an unrivalled biography of the Marx household in Victorian London, of the Marx circle, and of Friedrich Engels, the family’s extraordinary mentor.

Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

More Maren Andersen shenanigans XD (I love her so much ksajdfhkjsd)

I had so much fun writing all of her little notes on her five proteges and the other five she ‘adopted’ into her group after the rigid team structure was disbanded later on in the competition. 

‘Nadia, Felicjan, and Emerich DO NOT interact >:( ‘ is my absolute favorite part of this X’DD (Yeah, she hates how those three treat Triinu, Mihails, and Niele like shit, and she vocalizes that multiple times. For that alone, she’s the best of the mentors, since the rest of them just let those three be bullied for the sake of ‘better TV ratings’.) 

So of course she takes the Unlucky Three under her wing when she’s able to.

As for Timothy and Paulette? After Leticia Hernandes and Mogens Van Dijk--Paulette’s allies--were eliminated from the Competition, she looks for a group, and finds Maren’s. After the Alliance of Five (Timothy, Sophronia Wickland, Yvonne Lafayette, Nadia Hendrikova, and Huan-Yue Fen) falls apart due to infighting, Timothy joins his former teammate Paulette in Maren’s new team. (Especially since he’s already great friends with Niele, Triinu, and Mihails, and is on good terms with Nordic Group as well.)

Fun fact: These ten are basically the focus characters of this story. (Cecile Nacht and her team, as well as Nadia and Felicjan, Sophronia, and Noel, are also important, and have some focus characters, but I’d call them secondary characters, though Nadia and Felicjan become more important as the story progresses.)

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

Beetlejuice - Broadway - March, 2019 (Preview) (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice), Sophia Anne Caruso (Lydia Deetz), Kerry Butler (Barbara Maitland), Rob McClure (Adam Maitland), Adam Dannheisser (Charles Deetz), Leslie Kritzer (Delia Deetz/Miss Argentina), Kelvin Moon Loh (Otho), Danny Rutigliano (Maxie Dean), Jill Abramovitz (Maxie Dean/Juno)

NOTES: Previews! This is probably my most obstructed bootleg ever. When I could get zooms they’re pretty (and I’m really trying my hardest for both Sophia and Kerry - “Dead Mom” looks GREAT and is really consistent), but I would probably consider this more like highlights with how many heads keep popping up. I don’t love it, but you can keep up with what is happening and see the WILD effects they have going on here...which is good enough for now. Video starts at “Ready, Set, Not Yet” and is complete from there. And honestly this video (and this show) is worth it just for “Dead Mom.”

NOTES: Most the first hour Act 1 is covered up or shot blind. When there’s something to see, it’s nice. The fidelity is cleaned up from the unfortunate dark ages of when it was shot, but the audio is a touch harsh.

NOTES: Nicely filmed from the balcony with a good balance of close-ups and full stage shots, although a little shaky at times. This is the first (and so far, only) video with Kiril Kulish in the role of Billy. Unfortunately about 15 minutes of the show is missing due to battery issues. What's missing is: Grandma's song "We Go Dancing", the scene between Dad and Tony, the beginning of "Deep Into The Ground", and the scene between Mrs. Wilkinson and Dad discussing Billy's ballet. It appears the filmer was trying to conserve battery power and was trying to focus on Billy's scenes. DVD has been enhanced with main menu and thumbnail images for access to the various songs. A-

The Book of Mormon - Broadway - March 7, 2011 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Andrew Rannells (Elder Price), Josh Gad (Elder Cunningham), Nikki M James (Nabulungi), Rory O’Malley (Elder McKinley), Michael Potts (Mafala Hatimbi), Lewis Cleale (Mission President)

NOTES: Notes: Listed in various places as both 3-7-2011 and 3-11-2011... it's due to a labeling error by the master. They are the same capture it's just the DVD Menu shows the capture date as 3-11-2011 while the poster at the beginning says 3-7-2011 A nice capture of this hilarious original show. A very solid and funny cast. Nikki does a fantastic job acting and vocally. On wide shots there can be heads on the sides, but nothing that really obstructs the action. During Broadway previews, less than a month before the official premiere. So there are differences from the Cast Recording. Very nice video of the show however a bar can be visible in wide shots but it doesn't interfere with anything.

NOTES: A fantastic capture of the second tour cast. This is the first known dvd of the 2NT, and the cast doesn’t disappoint. David and Cody are strong leads with great voices and comedic timing. Pierce is perfect as McKinley. Tallia also does a great job; she has a strong belt and does an endearing rendition of Sal Tlay Ka Siti. This is a very nice capture with no obstruction or blackouts, and only a bit of washout in superwide shots of high-contrast scenes. The video is very steady and the sound is excellent as usual. It’s filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Includes curtain call.

The Book of Mormon - Sweden - 2017 (Highlights) FORMAT:  MKV (HD) CAST: Linus Wahlgren (Elder Price), Per Andersson (Elder Cunningham)

NOTES: Workshop all staged on barebones sets. Very interesting changes from the eventual Broadway version, including a much different “All American Prophet” (a squaredaney number called “The Bible is a Trilogy, Too”) This version is far less polished and focused but incredibly interesting to see for fans of the show.

Nordic Gothic (International Gothic Series), by Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Hõglund, Yvonne Leffler and Sofia Wijkmark, Manchester University Press, 2020. Info: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk.

Nordic Gothic traces Gothic fiction in the Nordic region from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, with a main focus on the development of Gothic from the 1990s onwards in literature, film, TV and new media. The volume gives an overview of Nordic Gothic fiction in relation to transnational developments and provides a number of case studies and in-depth analyses of individual narratives. It creates an understanding of this under-researched cultural phenomenon by showing how the narratives make visible cultural anxieties haunting the Nordic countries, their welfare systems, identities and ideologies. Nordic Gothic examines how figures from Nordic folklore function as metaphorical expressions of Gothic themes and Nordic settings are explored from perspectives such as ecocriticism and postcolonialism. The book will be of interest to researchers and post- and- undergraduate students in various fields within the Humanities.

Contents: List of figures Introduction 1 The past that haunts the present: the rise of Nordic Gothic – Yvonne Leffler & Johan Höglund 2 Two Nordic Gothic icons: Hans Christian Andersen and Selma Lagerlöf – Maria Holmgren Troy & Sofia Wijkmark 3 Swedish Gothic and the demise of the welfare state – Sofia Wijkmark 4 Nordic Gothic crime: places and spaces in Johan Theorin's Öland quartet series – Yvonne Leffler 5 'The Chosen Ones': Sara B. Elfgren and Mats Strandberg's teenage witch trilogy – Maria Holmgren Troy 6 Nordic troll Gothic – Sofia Wijkmark 7 Indigenous hauntings: Nordic Gothic and colonialism – Johan Höglund 8 Lost (and gained) in translation: Nordic Gothic and transcultural adaptation – Maria Holmgren Troy 9 Nordic Gothic new media – Johan Höglund Appendix: Nordic Gothic fiction Bibliography Index

PERSONAL

PROFESSION: Blacksmith, ambassador and heir for his clan, Drust Magic Practitioner

SMOKING: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

DRUGS: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

ALCOHOL: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess

QUIRKS

Having been born with out the use of his legs he has a strange view on what people can and can’t do. Those who say they can’t go and see the world he gestures at his legs and tells them they aren’t thinking far enough

Like the rest of his family Lorcan loves making deals, these are more than simple verbal deals and they are things he warns to not get into unless someone is sure they want something from him.

Lorcan is a love of stories and falls into a habit of going into a story when he means to say something else.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

I’m always looking for new RP buddies on this and all my other blogs. I’m a huge believer that OOC and IC should be separate but if you RP with me I will pester you to build friendships so we can make the best long term stories. 

Themes for Lorcan; I’m looking for occult, horror, grey morals, monsters trying to do good but still being monsters.

WHAT I AM NOT LOOKING FOR

Please no OOC drama. I won’t RP children getting hurt or sexual assault ((If it’s in characters past that’s okay, just I’m not doing scenes with any of the above)). 

Triggers This Character Comes with

Lorcan is going to hit hard on themes of disability, but there is human sacrifice in his home (not children since that’s my own hard limit), and there is also mentions of cannibalism in his clan. Much of this is stuff on fluff interactions won’t come up, but it will come up if you get in deep with him and his family. Even then I’m a super flexible RPer and take my partners comfort as the biggest aspect of writing any scene!
