This article about ‘Laughter’ by the Daily Mail, will be useful when it comes to talking about laughter as it also has interesting facts that I could reference when talking about laughter itself.
3. http://www.animationmagazine.net/
This website is an online magazine which gives you the latest up to date with the animation world.
Generally this website is fantastic and is one I always refer to for research. It is like an encyclopedia with dictionary definitions and thesaurus, refers to other encyclopedia s and it even has Wikipedia inside of the website.

Not leaving out the ever popular and at times useful YouTube which contains videos of animations such as ‘Tom and Jerry’ which, if you do not have access to can watch from here.

The Internet Movie Database is always a great site when it comes to searching films, TV series and all other forms, whether mainstream or independent. Each film is full of details including its directors, casts, release dates, genres and just about anything you need to know about a film.

This article tells us that ‘children loved visual jokes because they were simple and easy to understand’. This article titled ‘making children laugh is no joke’, talks about what makes children laugh and gives the perspective of one of animations main audiences, children on what it takes to make them laugh and this can help me explain why an animator may choose to do a certain ‘gag’ in order to generate comedy and make the audience laugh.
This is like a YouTube for animation. This website is interesting as it shows you lots of animation from a wide range and its interesting to watch.
9. http://www.animationblog.org/
I feel that this is an interesting blog in that the blogger critically evaluates animated shorts, whether it be classic, new and on-line. Its interesting in that it has a critical eye and also the range of animation they talk about could help the onlookers imagination or find out interesting animations you may have not heard or seen. They even have divided into which countries they were made e.g. Spanish animation, British animation etc.

I have look at this site a lot, particularly when writing my year 13 independent study essay. I feel that this website is very engaging as it discusses animation in terms of types of animations, audiences of animation, and the impact of each type of animation and the future of all types of animation. I just feel that this is a very engaging read about animation which is why I find this site interesting.
