“As animation's links between process and image have always been most direct, an ontological fascination with its ‘bringing to life' has surfaced often in even some of the earliest of animated films. Given the comedic missions of most theatrical cartoons and the wry, ironic natures of many of their artists, self-parody was inevitable. Their lampooning could go beyond the drawing board and through the silver screen as neither movie-making nor Hollywood icons were spared the ink of sarcasm.”
