History of the Rubber Duck The origin of the rubber duck is not known, but its history is inevitably linked to the emergence of rubber manufacturing in the late 1800s. The earliest rubber ducks were made from harder rubber and lacked squeakers. The yellow rubber duck has achieved an iconic status in American pop culture and is often symbolically linked to bathing or bath tubs and bubbles and to babies and toddlers. Jim Henson popularized rubber ducks in 1970, performing "Rubber Duckie" as Ernie, a popular Muppet from Sesame Street. The song had two follow-ups, "Do de Rubber Duck" and "DUCKIE," and Ernie frequently spoke to his duck and carried it with him in other segments of the show.
[1] In 1953, Norman McLaren's "Neighbours" won the Academy Awards for Best Documentary (Short Subject). The award is somewhat considered a mistake, but the fact that it was not only indicated into that category, but also won, shows that, somehow, the animated images spoke to the judges almost like a documentary. Of Stars and Men, a 1964 animated feature by John Hubley which tells of humankind's quest to find its place in the universe, won an award in the documentary category at the San Francisco Film Festival. [1] The 2007 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam featured a programme based around "documentaries that partly or completely consist of animation". [2] In the article written to accompany the event, Kees Driessen talked about the "least controversial" form of the genre; the "illustrated radio documentary", citing Aardman Animation's 1987 film Lip Synch: Going Equipped (directed by Peter Lord) as an example.

It was a very simple animation where only few part of a character was moving but it had one of the main things at that time - interacting with its creator. And later on in 1976 the first 3D CGI head was used in a film “Futureworld” (1) and I will be looking into CGI more than traditional animation. Whereas films developed over 1890s and in 1902 first science fiction film was produced by French director George Melies “A Trip to the Moon”. It also had animation in it. From then on until today the quality of various animation techniques for live action films were dramatically increasing.
When Mickey was “younger” he had a small head, smaller eyes, and smaller cranium. In Gould's article he provides evidence by showing the different stages of Mickey's development, showing charts/graphs, comparison, other writers, and public response. If Mickey became a national symbol, we must ask, as from Gould's text: “Why did Disney choose to change one of it's most famous characters so gradually and persistently in the same direction?” Significant changes in Mickey's appearance, such as the larger head size, larger eyes, and enlarged cranium, suggested these were juvenility traits. This is where Gould introduces the idea of neoteny. Neoteny refers to progressive juvenile as an evolutionary phenomenon.
The director of the music in the film is James Horner who wrote the score for the film. He has composed music for such movies as Aliens, Apollo 13, Titanic, and Avatar. As his recent scores have created for 3D movies, his recent scores have utilized the technological sound designs common in superhero movies as Spider-Man. The scores of The Amazing Spider-Man have never been heard before in the franchise but feature elements of traditional scoring; powerful and brassy scores provide the epic backdrop needed for a character, Spider-Man. Horner finds fresh 3-D dimensions in a score as the film is being shot in 3D film.
