Walt Disney is one of the biggest personal role models I have had for many years; in the years he lived, his work as an animator, film producer, writer, and entrepreneur<\/a> made a huge impact in not only animation, but also in general entertainment around the world<\/strong>. This global platform he would grow with his company would later be used in many public services, including families’ entertainment, kids’ education & advancement in technology & science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Near-Century History of Animation Innovation (since about the 1920s)<\/li>
  2. Walt Disney’s Snow White was Groundbreaking Work<\/li>
  3. Snow White Faced Early Criticism, Was Once Called “Disney’s Folly” in a Newspaper<\/li>
  4. Walt Disney persisted in creative innovation despite the challenges, and changed entertainment forever, and for the better<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Problems:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Copyright Laws Make Crossovers Sometimes Difficult to Produce, Due to Agreements Needed Between Corporate Rivals<\/li>
    2. Writers Run Out of Good Ideas, so Episodes Turn from Good to Bad<\/li>
    3. Beloved Animated Shows Get Cancelled, and Then (Often) Don’t Return<\/li>
    4. Millions of Fans Online Want Returns & Crossovers of Shows<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Solutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Series of Animation Crossovers Could Be New Cartoon Innovation for Franchise Cross-Promotion & Expansion<\/li>
      2. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” or “Jimmy Timmy” on Wider, Longer-Term and More Frequent Scale (story arcs and universe)<\/li>
      3. Older Cartoons could Be Re-Introduced to New Generations<\/li>
      4. Unified Cartoon Community can serve as an emblem for ideal Real-World Communities<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        The greatest passion I have is to<\/strong> use my talents in Digital Media Design to positively impact the world at least at the levels he reached for the 21st Century<\/strong>, but even though I’ve been a skilled artist for many years, I have yet to learn how to be an entrepreneur. One of the keys similarities between great artists and great entrepreneurs is that they have an innovative vision in their dreams that they work hard to make into reality because they know just how much worth it would be to change people’s lives and\/or happiness for the better. This is why I proudly present to you what I consider to be my innovative vision, and what I expect will be my greatest creative work: the United Cartoons<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

        The United Cartoons (UC or UCA)<\/span><\/strong> is an inter-company media<\/a> entertainment organization<\/strong> with the aim to create and promote crossovers<\/a> between media franchises<\/strong>, both currently and historically popular, primarily in the genre of animation<\/a><\/strong>. It also maintains co-existence, cooperation, security, and peace among the characters<\/strong> of these franchises, through drawing, animating, writing, and sharing stories about them meeting one another, and having adventures with plots based on their common traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The United Cartoons\u2019 two greatest goals are to have its shared stories about diverse sets of cartoons characters coming together in ways that can serve to not only the peoples\u2019 entertainment and nostalgia, but to also serve as examples for how real-world societies can and should act<\/strong> – by embracing the coexistence of others of different places, looks, cultures, and backgrounds, by having the courage to seek justice & truth, by hoping for communities to be more unified and peaceful, and most importantly, by treating and helping others with friendship, kindness & love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Under this title, I want to write, draw, and then post on social media my own webcomics, animatics, and animations<\/a> featuring crossovers between many cartoons<\/strong>. However, not all cartoons are guaranteed to be added<\/strong> to the United Cartoons, since I decided a long time ago it would be best if the cartoons that did come together shared these five main criteria<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. If the cartoons are globally recognized and\/or iconic
        2. if the cartoons are universally beloved now, or ever were
        3. if the cartoons have similar settings (to make crossovers between them easier to write)
        4. if the cartoons’ main characters are likely to get along\/be good friends based on personalities
        5. if the cartoons’ messages are family-friendly, in terms of moral values & with limits on adults-only content<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The list you just read above, as you’d notice, did not mention which companies the characters need to come from. This is because it would apply to cartoons from nearly ANY company within the animation industry<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Now, if you’re having skeptical thoughts about this, I might understand why. I’ve had debates with friends before about intercompany crossovers being plausible, citing corporate competition as a possible block. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        But yet, we know from various media outlets that corporate COOPERATION has allowed such crossovers before<\/strong>, like some DC\/Marvel comic books<\/strong><\/a>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        and the blockbuster classic film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”<\/strong>, where Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck (Disney) shared scenes together<\/strong> with Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck (Warner Bros): as seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
