The word 'teenager' was coined back in the 1940s and 50s to market cheap B grade schlock movies to kids of that age.Quote:United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., 334 U.S. 131 (1948) (also known as the Hollywood Antitrust Case of 1948, the Paramount Case, or the Paramount Decision), was a landmark United States Supreme Court antitrust case that decided the fate of film studios owning their own theatres and holding exclusivity rights on which theatres would show their movies. It would also change the way Hollywood movies were produced, distributed, and exhibited. The Supreme Court affirmed the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York's ruling that the existing distribution scheme was in violation of United States antitrust law, which prohibits certain exclusive dealing arrangements.[1] The decision created the Paramount Decree, a standard held by the United States Department of Justice that prevented film production companies from owning exhibition companies.[2] The case is important both in U.S. antitrust law and film history. In the former, it remains a landmark decision in vertical integration cases; in the latter, it is responsible for putting an end to the old Hollywood studio system. |

The Enchanted Drawing American animation owes its beginnings to J. Stuart Blackton, a British filmmaker who created the first animated film in America. Before creating cartoons, Blackton was a vaudeville performer known as "The Komikal Kartoonist." In his act, he drew "lightning sketches" or high-speed drawings. In 1895, he met Thomas Edison. Can you guess what this meeting with the famous inventor inspired him to do? https://youtu.be/rYDmH2B9XJw Notes on the Origins of American Animation, 1900-1921 Animated drawings were introduced to film a full decade after George Méliès had demonstrated in 1896 that objects could be set in motion through single-frame exposures. J. Stuart Blackton's 1906 animated chalk experiment Humorous Phases of Funny Faces was followed by the imaginative works of Winsor McCay, who made between four thousand and ten thousand separate line drawings for each of his three one-reel films released between 1911 and 1914. Only in the half-dozen years after 1914, with the technical simplifications (and patent wars) involving tracing, printing, and celluloid sheets, did animated cartoons become a thriving commercial enterprise. This period--upon which this collection concentrates--brought assembly-line standardization but also some surprisingly surreal wit to American animation. The twenty-one films (and two Winsor McCay fragments) in this collection, all from the Library of Congress holdings, include clay, puppet, and cut-out animation as well as pen drawings. Beyond their artistic interest, these tiny, often satiric, films tell much about the social fabric of World War I-era America. https://www.loc.gov/collections/origins-...1900-1921/ |

6 Film Genres in the 1930s were popular. Horror German expressionism Universal Studios Gangster No European roots Prohibition started it all. Influencing all cinema around the world. Westerns offered landscapes and lots of movement instead of static cityscapes. Mostly offered tales about lawmakers taming the old ways. Musicals Marching patterns and theatricality. Social comments are patterned in the images. Innovative erotic routines. Comedy Sound changed the speed and pacing Screwball mayhem ensues Realism and surrealism https://youtu.be/9UWgGfW_Moo Cartoons Animation becomes an international phenom as an artform.

Most of the early sound pictures were filled with static symbolism and naturalism until Rouben Mamoulian used sound and music with effective results in 1932. Love Me Tonight 1932 https://youtu.be/zXFeiy_VtWk Here's another example done by Peter Jackson. https://youtu.be/i6LGJ7evrAg |
