The movie contains a childs sense of fun with jokes adult will also enjoy, a move first seen in Toy Story, and used is many animated films since.

Byrne’s comparison to Mickey Mouse is flawed, I think. He grants that the design has changed over the years, in oder to continue to appeal to a contemporary audience, but asserts that whatever crop of artists are avaiable at any time are religiously “on model”. What he fails to take into account is the animation medium itself(to say that animators are on model from frame to frame is akin to saying Ben Affleck looks like Ben Affleck from frame to frame) as well as the onslaught of merchandise which employs so much variety, much of it never seen in film or comics. The fact is, the look of Mickey Mouse is malleable, and open to interpretation, and the company encourages and exploits it.

In October of 1971, John Kerry was satirized by cartoonist Doonesbury for his role in slandering the troops upon his return from Vietnam.

How does one react to the death of arch-villians? When Richard Nixon, probably my nation’s most divisive president before our current one, died, many on the left complained that papers, including the New York Times, whitewashed his disgraceful behavior in office and emphasized his triumphs, like his contacts with China. Gary Trudeau’s Doonesbury ran a set of strips that repeated Nixon-era cartoons, hastily recaptioned with (sarcastic) praise for the late President.
