Although some credit the environmental movement of the 1970s, with
its profound impact on children's television programs and movies,
for paving the way for later eco-films, the history of
environmental expression in animated film reaches much further back
in American history, as "That's All Folks?" makes clear.
Countering the view that the contemporary environmental
movement--and the cartoons it influenced--came to life in the
1960s, Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann reveal how
environmentalism was already a growing concern in animated films of
the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. From Felix the Cat cartoons to
Disney's beloved "Bambi" to Pixar's "Wall-E" and James Cameron's
"Avatar," this volume shows how animated features with
environmental themes are moneymakers on multiple
levels--particularly as broad-based family entertainment and
conveyors of consumer products. Only Ralph Bakshi's X-rated "Fritz
the Cat" and R-rated "Heavy Traffic" and "Coonskin," with their
violent, dystopic representation of urban environments, avoid this
total immersion in an anti-environmental consumer market.
Showing us enviro-toons in their cultural and historical contexts,
this book offers fresh insights into the changing perceptions of
the relationship between humans and the environment and a new
understanding of environmental and animated cinema.
