This foundational course starts with the basic ABCs of writing
for daytime animation. From Animaniacs, to Batman, to Cars
 Toons-and beyond, Daytime Animation paints a landscape
of unique worlds with unique rules. How is writing for daytime
cartoons traditionally different than writing for live-action,
primetime animation, or an animated feature? What can
carton mice like Pinky and the Brain do that even Superman
can't? Why can the Animaniacs climb all over Bill Clinton,
but Batman can't get near him? Why can you create scores
of new characters for some animated shows, but maybe not
 for one animated by Pixar? What's the difference between a
 great story idea and a great story idea that will work for a
 specific show? -First steps into that Bat (fat cat, cartoon rat,
run-off-a-cliff-tread-air-and-KERSPLAT) Cave starts here.
������Through online lectures, animation watching,
 written assignments, and optional exercises, this course
supplies a cartoon-writing utility belt of understanding how to
write for Daytime Animation programming.
