I decided to analyse "A Short Vision" Directed by Pete folds, and "Duck Amuck" Directed by Chuck Jones. I enjoyed both of these cartoons for different reason. Fold's animation offered sinister, jarring imagery whilst Duck Amuck offered classic funny Looney Tunes with a cynical under layer of distaste from creators.
Watching A short vision was a jarring experience. The animation alone, stood out because of the characters odd appearance and smooth movements. The suspense created by the mystery object flying over the city made you question which direction the short was heading in, Whereas in the typically funny Duck Amuck, you instantly get the jist of what's going to be the subject of the episode.
After re-watching Duck Amuck, I got more of an aggressive vibe overall. I know that Daffy Duck is meant to be aggressive, but within this short, there just seems to be frustration and anger. To me I feel like this episode really depicts the frustration that that most animators experience, because they feel like their constantly having to cater to the masses by performing through their cartoons.
When comparing the two, they're both similar in the sense that they both carry strong messages through warped visual communication to shadow the true meaning behind them.
