A quick note on timelines (Yawn! Shut up, Trollheart! You woke me up!) Sorry...
In the revised edition of this journal, since I realised I'd have to go pretty deeply into cinema animation before even getting to the TV stuff, I'm trying to keep two basic timelines: one is based exclusively on material produced in the US of A (Mostly Disney and Max Fleischer for the early periods) and one to then cover any country outside of the USA. As a result, I might post a timeline of, say, 1920-1930 for the USA but then find the timeline for Spanish (say) animation goes back to 1910 or something, so they may not always completely tally. But they'll never be that far apart.
Also, I may make generalisations from time to time, so don't bother posting "Dude! Your timeline says 1940-45 but X cartoon was 1945!" or suchlike.
Okay, you can go back to sleep now.
