TylerRider Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 So do they make those cartoon commercials in Califorina, then send it back to Kings Island, or how does it work. If Paramount owned it at the time I guess they just made it and aired it. Are cartoons made on only Hollywood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 First of all, Carl Lindner's Great American Financial, not Paramount, owned Kings Island at the time Phantom Theater opened. Note the Old English font Kings Island at the end of the commercial. Second, ad agencies produced the animation back then. It almost certainly was done in the Cincinnati area, not in Hollywood. Nowadays, much cartoon animation is computer generated and/or done overseas. Very little is hand drawn in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm sure the OG style of animation (onion skin, hand-painted cels, rotoscopy, etc.) is preserved somewhere in this touch-screen world of ours. It would be like the Samauri swordsmiths, who still make their instruments the old-fashioned way, despite advances in computer-controlled machineryy...
