Prehistoric Humans in Film and Television by Michael Klossner Pdf
From the early days of the movies, “cavemen” have been a popular subject for filmmakers—not surprisingly, since the birth of cinema occurred only a few decades after the earliest scientific studies of prehistoric man. Filmmakers, however, were not constrained by the emerging science; instead they most often took a comedic look at prehistory, a trend that continued throughout the 20th century. Prehistoric humans also populated adventure-fantasy films, with the original One Million B.C. (1940) leading the charge. Documentaries were also made, but it was not until the 1970s that accurate film accounts of prehistoric humans finally emerged. This exhaustive work provides detailed accounts of 581 film and television productions that feature depictions of human prehistory. Included are dramas and comedies set in human prehistory; documentaries; and films and television shows in which prehistoric people somehow exist in historical periods—from the advent of civilization up to the present—or in extraterrestrial settings. Each entry includes full filmographic data, including year of release, running time, production personnel, cast information, and format. A description of each film provides background on the prehistoric elements. Contemporary critical commentary is included for many of the works.
THE MARVEL SUPER HEROES ON TV! BOOK ONE: IRON MAN, A COMPLETE EPISODE GUIDE TO THE 1966 GRANTRAY-LAWRENCE ANIMATION CARTOON SERIES. In 1966, the Marvel super heroes blasted their way onto television screens across America for the first time. And now the story behind these Grantray-Lawrence Animation cartoons is finally told. This book on the IRON MAN show is the first in a series of episode guides that will chronicle each of the five heroes' shows, with upcoming volumes featuring Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Sub-Mariner - each in their own books. Best of all, the research for this project is based on the meticulously-preserved personal archives of the show's executive producer, Robert L. Lawrence. Over 700 full-color pictures are presented in this 205-page first edition. Pictures include over 300 color photographs from the show and of its creators. Also included are 63 pages of original storyboards, with each page featuring four to six storyboard panels per page, and many of these include handwritten notes and revisions by Marvel Editor Stan "The Man" Lee himself. Additionally, this book presents 20 pages of script material that includes two complete scripts and 16 pictures of original script pages, some of which include the penciled-in names of the voice performers who worked on the show. Photographs and biographies of producers, directors, and voice performers are provided. Many of those who worked on IRON MAN were not listed in the credits, and their work on the show has remained unknown and uncredited for over five decades - until now. This book presents the most comprehensive biographies written to date of the legendary Grantray-Lawrence Animation founders Grant Simmons, Ray Patterson, and Robert Lawrence. Chronicled here also is the complete story behind the long-lost opening sequence "The Marvel Super Heroes Have Arrived!" - with color pictures of the sequence, an early version of the lyrics, the final version of the lyrics, and 24 panels from the animation's actual storyboards. Two versions of Jack Urbont's famous IRON MAN theme song are featured as well: the first version, and the final version - and the famous opening to the IRON MAN show is broken down into color panels so an entire new generation of fans can appreciate this classic opening sequence that marked the debut of IRON MAN to a television audience of millions. In addition to all the visuals, this book examines - in depth - how the classic IRON MAN comic book stories from TALES OF SUSPENSE were transcribed into storyboards and scripts that underwent many stages of review by producers and script supervisors - and even Stan Lee himself - before the stories were placed in the hands of veteran Disney animators Grant Simmons and Don Lusk, who - between them - directed all 39 IRON MAN cartoons. Data is provided for each show, and this includes the credits for writers and directors, studio synopses, the original sources of the stories and art, information on which art and story sequences were newly created for the cartoons, and commentary on each show as well. The commentary focuses on the similarities and differences among the cartoons and the comic books, and it also brings up points of interest, such as the appearance of Tony Stark's "MMMS" rocket in Show #35, the Chameleon's collection of Marvel masks in Show #38, and countless other gems that appear in the cartoons but not the comic books. If that's not enough, this book includes special features on Iron Man's masks and gadgets and settings and villains. In other words, this book is both the first word and the last word on anything and everything concerning the 1966 IRON MAN television show: It is brimming with color pictures, behind-the-scenes information, storyboards, scripts, memoranda from both Marvel and the Grantray-Lawrence Animation studio, and never-before-seen writing by Stan Lee. In short, this book is for any fan of Marvel, Iron Man, animation, or television history.

Marvel Comics into Film by Matthew J. McEniry,Robert Moses Peaslee,Robert G. Weiner Pdf
Marvel Studios' approach to its Cinematic Universe--beginning with the release of Iron Man (2008)--has become the template for successful management of blockbuster film properties. Yet films featuring Marvel characters can be traced back to the 1940s, when the Captain America serial first appeared on the screen. This collection of new essays is the first to explore the historical, textual and cultural context of the larger cinematic Marvel universe, including serials, animated films, television movies, non-U.S. versions of Marvel characters, films that feature characters licensed by Marvel, and the contemporary Cinematic Universe as conceived by Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios. Films analyzed include Transformers (1986), Howard the Duck (1986), Blade (1998), Planet Hulk (2010), Iron Man: Rise of Technovore (2013), Elektra (2005), the Conan the Barbarian franchise (1982-1990), Ultimate Avengers (2006) and Ghost Rider (2007).
Anime’s influence can be found in every corner of American media, from film and television to games and graphic arts. And Fred Patten is largely responsible. He was reading manga and watching anime before most of the current generation of fans was born. In fact, it was his active participation in fan clubs and his prolific magazine writing that helped create a market and build American anime fandom into the vibrant community it is today. Watching Anime, Reading Manga gathers together a quarter-century of Patten’s lucid observations on the business of anime, fandom, artists, Japanese society and the most influential titles. Illustrated with original fanzine covers and archival photos. Foreword by Carl Macek (Robotech). Fred Patten lives in Los Angeles. "Watching Anime, Reading Manga is a worthwhile addition to your library; it makes good bathroom browsing, cover-to-cover reading, and a worthwhile reference for writing or researching anime and manga, not to mention a window into the history of fandom in the United States." -- SF Site
With careers spanning eight decades, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were two of the most prolific animation producers in American history. In 1940, the two met at MGM and created Tom and Jerry, who would earn 14 Academy Award nominations and seven wins. The growth of television led to the founding of Hanna-Barbera's legendary studio that produced countless hours of cartoons, with beloved characters from Fred Flintstone, George Jetson and Scooby-Doo to the Super Friends and the Smurfs. Prime-time animated sitcoms, Saturday morning cartoons, and Cartoon Network's cable animation are some of the many areas of television revolutionized by the team. Their productions are critical to our cultural history, reflecting ideologies and trends in both media and society. This book offers a complete company history and examines its productions' influences, changing technologies, and enduring cultural legacy, with careful attention to Hanna-Barbera's problematic record of racial and gender representation.
