*DROP THE BEAT* "Wub wub wub wub wub....."
Yo guys, it is your boy, Trident here.
Before starting our topic today, I think you guys should have a nice day. If not, phuck it! Let it be, be a happy baby to read my swaggy post (not saggy...erhem I know you read it that way, gotcha beach!)Ok, sorry for being stupid just now, and now, today, we are going to talk about CARTOONS.
First of all, what is Cartoon(s)? A moving image? Another kind of art illustration? A new kind of drawings? Well, it is very subjective but the generic definition for it is this: A cartoon is a form of two-dimensional illustrated visual art. (found it on Wiki, if disagree, don't blame me #never trust wikipedia)
Did you know who invented it? Actually, I would say it is "started" rather than "invented", the first saw animated project is made by a french science teacher Charles-Émile Reynaud.
The original one or so called the ancient one of the cartoon is made up by papers. The artists themselves converted their ideas into papers and then make it dynamic by flipping the papers piece by piece or just make them into a roll of film or, nowadays we called it ---- motion-pictures.
There are a lot of cartoons out there, but for me, the best one is Mickey Mouse. (wait..what?)
As everybody knows Mickey Mouse is symbolic with its two round circle on his round head, technically it is three circles.
In the early time, Mickey is actually a replacement made by Disney to change Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, because of some copyrighted issues. It is very shocking that Mickey is actually inspired from a tame mouse, which then be transformed into a marvelous cartoon character.

For the those who didn't know, Mickey was created in 1928, which is way much older than any of us, unless you have grandparents that are older or same age as Mickey, I salute to them! You old folks have been through a lot of things.

That's the point I choose Mickey in this topic, the AGE! It is easy to create a thing that will become popular but it is hard to create a thing that will inherit generation by generation. Because if a thing is popular, it must be a down-fall for it, such as Gangnam Style, Frozen, Taken and so on. But there are something that is inherited by our ancestors to us, us to our offspring. For example, Michael Jackson's songs, The Beatles, William Shakespeare's works, Chess, and so on. All these things that won't be disappearing in ages or even forever. Mickey is just the same. Mr.Disney is a great guy who creates a children's hero. Creating a masterpiece is a bit difficult, I bet some of you can also do it, but will it be successful? The age has clearly proven that Mickey is really an incredible masterpiece.

Honestly, I have been watching Mickey's cartoon since child until now, because my sister watches it sometimes, so I will just watch whatever she watches as long as it is not Barbie, no offense. I found that Mickey has dominated most of the things around us. From comedy to education(and also from 2D to 3D animation), Mickey is originally a comedic cartoon, then it transformed into a more common cartoon like descriptive cartoon, then now it even has its own educational cartoon, Mickey Mouse Playhouse which is mostly for the child aged between 3 to 7 to learn things. Mickey also has its own merchandise from real to replica, whatever it is. Mickey is everywhere!! It even has collaboration in games!! such as Kingdom Hearts.

Mickey inspires me to create a character that will inherit ages by ages. I as will be a game developer, I am hoping than I am able to pursue this in my future career, I hope it will be successful although it might be a very hard journey. As you guys, keep fighting!! EVERYONE IS NATURALLY BORN AWESOME! and peace out. Grazie! and Adios~
