Fashion Is The Best Distraction

 

Fashion can be really easy to appreciate and love, it can be more fresh, attractive and vibrant to how you can express yourself.

Wouldn't it be great to make people entertained by the way you look or how other people look? 

I think cartoons barely go for special occasions where they dress casually or in special, unique ways.

It makes the character have more personality and a chance at being iconic.

I've been loving this genre ever since I watched The Three Stooges, almost every episode they would have different and fun outfits. 

I love the duo/trio group trope. I'm doing it myself with my characters. I think having just one character isn't as easy as it sounds. It's all fun in games when you bring another pal, or even a few more of them.

Drawing characters and making them wear clothing takes alot of work and adds more attention to the audience. They can't just be bare-naked, they have to fit into the right atmosphere and setting.

Look at Porky Pig here. In the Charlie Dog cartoons, he always wears his usual blue coat and red bow tie, here he's fit into the farmer archetype. The straw hat, overalls you name it. It's more sensible and fitting.

Characters like Bugs Bunny don't need to have too much clothes because his natural and witty personality fits perfectly with how he looks, however when he does wear fashion, it's less expressive than you think but it's still able to work decently. 

In fact, Bugs absolutely looks fine in various outfits. 

I love stuff like this. The poses, the amusing talking, A Hare Grows In Manhattan in particular is really underrated, and well told. 

It takes inspiration and influences to create something just like The Three Stooges and Bugs Bunny and this proves otherwise. 

You barely see anyone wear fashion like this anymore and it's really good to explore and experience the past. It's also visually pleasing. Everyone looks slim, clean and confident. 

I love a good bit of quirkiness and whenever one of my favorite cartoon characters or actors just go to the silly route, it's a really interesting ride. 

Sometimes weird can be funny and I believe that. When I first saw Three Stooges's Creeps (1956), I was absolutely floored by how uncanny but hilarious Moe, Larry and Shemp are dressed as babies. The short is a clip-show, but I think it has some good clips. 

While we all love to wear whatever we want and try not to be too modest and classy especially in the modern world of today, we still have to appreciate what styles and trends we have experienced so we can talk about them and send love and passion for it. We gotta be grateful somehow. 

Even in those animated versions, you can still like it and appreciate the appeal. 

I love Cock O' The Walk. It has some fantastic dance scenes, and underrated silent characters.

Not only does this 90 year old cartoon have personality but it's widely acceptable for the era. Seeing anthropomorphic roosters dance and having a rubbery boxing match feels like true cinema. I really miss stuff like this. If this ever happens again, don't make it have useless talking involved, make it have exceptional dialogue and trust-worthy and reliable characters who know how to dance and feel at ease and spirit. I'm begging for this genre to come back. 

I think the post renaissance of fashion and entertainment was the 90s and 2000s. I grew up with one of the most creative, sharp and collected TV shows I ever watched. Backyardigans was full of exploration and I loved alot of the music. I think it was clearly inspired by the classics. It's really fun and perfect for younger audiences.
