UPA and Limited Animation

When the strike at Disney took place during the production of 'Dumbo' in 1941, it resulted in some animators leaving; one of them being John Hubley, who later went on to form the UPA.

Magoo is one of UPA's most famous characters and equally just as funny as all the others. His simple adventures and entertaining to watch and the unique style of animation adds to the fun.

UPA's style of animation is very opposite to Disney's realistic version, but was it the right way to go? Disney's animations are, arguably, better looking looker and you can feel the time and work gone into each scene everytime you watch a film, but animations like Mr Magoo have their own unique style, so even if they aren't as realistic, they're still just as good in their own way. Along with great animation, they saved a lot of money as they didn't have to inbetween and re-draw every frame. 

Of course, this style of animation has inspired many artists and animator worldwide, including the creator of Astro Boy, a Japanese cartoon.
