/a/ here. I know more of you are also here.
Did they have studio wars back in the Golden Age of American animation? Stuff like...
>Disney sameface again!
>Warner Bros. QUALITY backgrounds as usual. And Mel Blanc plays the MC; what a surprise!
>There goes Fleischer, covering up their QUALITY with 3D effects again!

I don't think most of us were alive back in the early Looney Tunes day.
But my dad says no.
Hard to tell when there wasn't a space like the internet to discuss this. My guess is that any company wars happened internally between animators, whereas the average viewer casually enjoyed cartoons without caring who made what.

No, all the company wars started when dc fans gained access to the internet, approximately lates 80s on geocities.

I remember it like it was yesterday

People still get confused about who made or belongs to what, especially the older they are.
>>85463023Let's just pretend.
Disney
>established their own publishing company (Buena Vista)
>became a major player in Hollywood solely through animation, not just piggybacking on the 3DPD studios
>started their own amusement park based on their kino
>encouraged the Japanese to take up comics and animation after some guy named Osamu Tezuka got to meet his idol Walt
Is there anything they can't do?

Sort of, but not to the extent we infer/ramble nowadays. In the era of theatrical shorts, studios frequently courted directors and executive producers from one studio to the next.
To that end, studios tended to evolve through periods of very specific comedic styles often favored by their most-popular/prominent director or producer. Mimicry, in this regard, was not uncommon. Neither was it uncommon to find a director who could "do a short like so-and-so but with X instead of Y" as the chief component of the punchline.

Properly pay and credit their animators, make a profit without their glorified county fair, draw different faces for women.

Sleeping Beauty will save animation.

Alice Comedy's say hello

Fun Fact: Sleeping Beauty was a critical and theatrical bomb at release. It nearly bankrupted Disney and they were convinced princess-led movies weren't the wave of the future. The next princess-led movie didn't come until 30-years later with The Little Mermaid.

I'm sorry about the Skwad reviews.

After cinderella, all the princess movies already seemed kinda bland. You can't make much with a 5 pages tale
