Adult animation, adult cartoon or mature animation, is any type of
animated motion work that is catered specifically to adult interests,
and is mainly targeted and marketed towards adults and older
adolescents, as opposed to children or all-ages audiences. Works in
this medium could be considered adult for any number of reasons, which
include the incorporation of explicit or suggestive content, graphic
violence, profane language, thematic elements or dark humour. Works in
this genre may explore philosophical, political, or social issues.
Some productions are noted for their complex and/or experimental
storytelling and animation techniques.In the United States, before the
enforcement of the Hays Code, some cartoon shorts contained humor that
was aimed at adult audience members rather than children. Following
the introduction of the Motion Picture Association of America film
rating system, independent animation producers attempted to establish
an alternative to mainstream animation. Initially, few animation
studios in the United States attempted to produce animation for adult
audiences, but later examples of animation produced for adults would
gain mainstream attention and success.The earliest cartoon series were
based upon popular comic strips, and were directed at family
audiences. Most animation produced during the silent film era was not
intended to be shown to any specific age group, but occasionally
contained humor that was directed at adult audience members, including
risqué jokes. The assumed audience of these early cartoons,
particularly Looney Tunes, has alternated from their initial
unspecific audience, to children, and back to general audiences as
"classics".[disputed â€" discuss] The earliest known instance of
censorship in animation occurred when the censorship board of
Pennsylvania requested that references to bootlegging be removed from
Walt Disney's 1925 short Alice Solves a Puzzle. One of the earliest
animated pornographic films was Eveready Harton in Buried Treasure,
produced circa 1928. It has often been suggested that the film was
produced for a private party in honor of Winsor McCay. According to
Karl F. Cohen's 1998 book, Forbidden Animation: Censored Cartoons and
Blacklisted Animators in America, rumor held that that the film was
developed in Cuba years after it was completed, because no lab in New
York City would process the film. When a print was screened in San
Francisco in the late 1970s, the program notes attributed the
animation to George Stallings, George Canata, Rudy Zamora, Sr. and
Walter Lantz.The Motion Picture Association of America, then known as
the Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors Association, was
established in 1922 as the result of public objection to adult content
in films, and a series of guidelines were established, suggesting
content that should not be portrayed in films. Until the Hays Code was
enforced, many animated shorts featured suggestive content, including
sexual innuendo, references to alcohol and drug use, and mild
profanity. In the 1933 short Bosko's Picture Show, Bosko appears to
use profanity, although it has also been suggested that the character
is saying "fox", or even "mug". Adult animation Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
