Merrie Melodies and Chuck Jones are a couple of animators that made some popular animated things, I guess. Since Flash got invented and Joe Shoe could become (famous animator) so more and more people look back on old shorts and admire how 2D they are. Enough love of this old stuff has produced a memorial to "One Froggy Evening."
Amid Amidi's parents liked alliteration, but he also wrote this thing about how we'll always garbage so why try. He says that "A Froggy Evening" is the most awesomest animation ever. Beyond perfect. Nothing could improve it.
Sorry double A, but I am inclined to disagree.
We should respect pioneers for sure, but innovators deserve just as much respect. Calling something perfect discourages people to try something new. If nothing new happens stagnation occurs, where everything is safe, but also boring, and the medium dies off. Yes, it's good, but it's not exactly leaving me aghast wondering about the meaning of life. It's personal taste, his favorite animation is A Froggy Evening, mines yet to be made. Enjoy what you like, tell people it's brilliance, but if you love something you have to allow innovation as well as preserve it.
