American Animated Film Society Museum
this fabulous museum contains all the history and
information about the start of animation and promotes its
outstanding concepts and achievements that have given Americans more
excitement and joy than some of the movies that have been made in
Burbank, California. For more than half a century, the
ASIFA-Hollywood has devoted itself to becoming one of the premiere
organizations in the world that promotes the art and industry of
animation and include some of the biggest names in the business,
like Roy Disney, William Shatner, Phyllis Diller, June Foray, Stan
Lee, Bill Scott, Tom Kenney, Chuck Jones, Frank and Ollie, Gary
Owens and many more. One of the most significant endeavors that the
museum is involve in is the preservation of the early films that
were created in animation and are now browning and mottling, and the
stock that they were printed on it turning into something like a goo
and then, finally crumbling into dust and powder, losing
historically significant images and flammable nitrate stock that had
been used before 1950, before they can be transferred to modern 35mm
safety film. It is an expensive proposition that the industry is
trying to complete, but it is difficult because of the costs and the
huge amount of work that has to be completed; but that is part of
the thrilling information that you'll gain when you visit this
magnificent museum that preserves one of the most interesting and
enjoyable aspects of our great history.
