Hi everyone
I have been doing a lot of reading on the history of animation, especially the stuff that came out in Hollywood in the 30's,40's and 50's and because I have been trying to write some more, I decided that animation would be an interesting field to write on. I actually wrote this for my blog originally, but because no one reads blogs any more, I decided to post it on Reddit. I have still posted a link to the blog at the very end of the piece, because I actually created some Gifs from the cartoons I have talked about, which people may be interested in seeing.
Enjoy, Ryan.
I have been a fan of animation as long as I can remember, ever since I watched Saturday morning cartoons on the A-Channel growing up in Canada. I never studied animation in any meaningful sense, but over the years I have picked up a few things about how cartoons are created and how they work. Having more free time due to the current Covid related unpleasantness, I have begun to read more and more books and articles on the history of animation and I have watched more and more of the classic theatrical shorts from the so called “Golden Age of Animation”.
I have also been trying to do some more writing and so I decided to combine my two present interests by writing about animation. When I write I like to have some sort of structure to build around, so I have decided to talk about the winners and nominees of the Academy Awards for best animated short films for each year starting from the beginning very. Examining the Oscar lists year by year, allows you to really see how the field of animation changed and evolved. Moreover since the Academy Awards are supposed to represent the best of what the film industry has to offer we can get a better sense of what contemporary Hollywood figures thought was the best in animation and so can better understand what they thought animation should be and how their ideals changed over time. I should be clear that I am not even remotely an expert on the subject of animation history by even the most generous standards so take that in mind when reading this.
At the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on November 18th, 1932, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handed out the 5th Academy Awards. In addition to the usual awards like best picture (won by “Grand Hotel”), these were the first awards which featured a category for animation under the title of “Short Subjects, Cartoons”, the name which the award would go by until the 1970’s.

Both the Scottish Division and Scottish Home Guard have the same template (four infantry and engineer company). Is this normal?
