KnockBack, Episode 41: Disney Animated Films (1937-1959)
Added 2018-11-22 17:01:01 +0000 UTCIn 1937, Walt Disney and his fledgling animation company executed a quantum leap when they released Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, the first animated feature film of its kind. The rest, as they say, is history. Today's episode of KnockBack is dedicated to those early days of Disney features, from Pinocchio and Dumbo to Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan, as well as many others. And who better to learn about it all from than a professional animator with more than two decades of experience, who just so happens to be an authority on these films, the people who made them, and the art scene that fostered their amazing work? See, there's no need to whistle while you work. Just listen to this podcast instead.

2018-11-29 20:34:14 +0000 UTCI'm loving it. Hearing Dagan passionately talk about his craft while giving me insight on something I knew little about is great.

2018-11-29 18:34:47 +0000 UTCWow, something I would never have had an interest in, but I'm already looking up "Disney Animation : The Illusion of Life" on EBay and Amazon. Great topic guys.

2018-11-27 21:01:13 +0000 UTCI thought the funniest thing in this episode was Dagan saying "BGs" but then y'all started talking about getting bleach on the "donger!" Thanks for always cracking us up. Oh yeah the rest of the episode was good too.

2018-11-26 21:01:17 +0000 UTCAwesome episode - would love to hear Dagan's take on Tex Avery cartoons. I've always put animation over movies due to amount of work that goes into that art and getting past limitations. Great episode guys

2018-11-26 18:49:53 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite Knockbacks so far, even if I'm more partial to the late 80s and beyond disney animations. I could listen to Dagan's passion on the subject for hours. You also speak to my soul regarding seasons Colin, lol. I'm not quite the vampire you are, but cold enough to see my breath, yet with a clear blue sky is my ideal :)

2018-11-24 17:02:51 +0000 UTCI love to hear someone discuss something they're so deeply passionate about to such a granular level.

2018-11-24 02:22:16 +0000 UTCMy girlfriend (who is exposed to you a lot as I tend to do the driving and yourself, Dagan and Chris are my favourite companions) absolutely loved this episode. She’s a hardcore Disney fan and adores animation. She really appreciated Dagan’s insight here and wanted me to pass on the message about how much she enjoyed this episode. I loved it as always.

Colin Moriarty
2018-11-23 21:04:47 +0000 UTCYeah, I gotta get to Cuphead at some point, for sure.
Colin Moriarty
2018-11-23 21:04:22 +0000 UTCI love these episodes, too! That's why I wanted to do this. =)
Colin Moriarty
2018-11-23 21:04:09 +0000 UTCTo be fair, it's very labor-intensive. =)
Colin Moriarty
2018-11-23 21:03:56 +0000 UTCEnjoy!

2018-11-23 21:03:44 +0000 UTCSuch a great episode, guys. Strange aside, but as I was walking home from work in Dublin on Wednesday night, I was commenting on your Mega Man let's play, a guy cycled passed me and stole my phone from my hand. I chased him for almost a mile but I lost him. After such a positive episode, I was in pretty bad humour for the next 2 days but just got my new phone today and this episode was exactly what I needed. So thank you for always being there. Knockback seemed to come at a perfect time this week. Thanks again for all you do.

2018-11-23 19:43:54 +0000 UTCfor the record, I fucking LOVE the dad jokes. also, since you have that appreciation for hand-drawn animation, I can't recommend Cuphead enough, it's right up your alley. I know it's on weird platforms but I think you'd really enjoy it.
Michal Dudic
2018-11-23 10:56:54 +0000 UTCLove episodes that put Dagan at the forefront, especially with his knowledge in the industry. Majoring in animation makes me appreciate it all the more.

2018-11-22 18:06:39 +0000 UTCKinda sucks they no longer do traditional animation anymore. It’s all 3D now, similar to Pixar.
