General Motors aka GM is The #1 Selling Vehicle Manufacturer in the World for 76 Consecutive Years. Those last ten have been a little tough. General Motors is headquartered at the Renaissance Center in Detroit. It employs approximately 266,000 people around the world. In 2009, General Motors sold 6.5 million cars and trucks globally. General Motor’s biggest success has been in the People’s Republic of China, where its sales rose 66.9 percent in 2009, selling 1,830,000 vehicles and accounting for 13.4 percent of the market. As part of General Motors Corporation’s reorganization as General Motors Company, the content and the structure of its brand portfolio (its brand architecture) is also being reorganized. Some nameplates like Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, and service brands like Goodwrench were discontinued. Others, like Saab, were sold. The practice of putting the “GM Mark of Excellence” on every car, no matter what the brand, was discontinued in August, 2009. The company has moved from a corporate-endorsed hybrid brand architecture structure, where GM underpinned every brand to a multiple brand corporate invisible brand architecture structure. The company’s familiar square blue “badge” has been removed from the Web site and advertising, in favor of a new, subtle all-text logo treatment. On July 10, 2009, a new entity, NGMCO Inc. purchased the ongoing operations and trademarks from General Motors Corporation. The purchasing company, in turn, changed its name from NGMCO Inc. to General Motors Company, marking the emergence of a new operation from the “pre-packaged” Chapter 11 reorganization.

A mad scientist unleashes robots to rob banks and loot museums. The story starts as one of the robots flies into a scientist’s secret lair and unloads a pile of cash into a vault. The robot is controlled completely from the scientists command center, and we see that he is one of many robots similar to him, lined up along the walls of the lair. Next, we see the front page of the Daily Planet, reporting the “mechanical monsters” robbery right alongside an announcement for the display of 50 million dollars of the world’s rarest gems at the local museum. Later, as Lois and Clark are covering the museum’s exhibit for the Planet, a robot lands in the street outside. The police pelt it with machine gun fire as it marches towards the museum, but the bullets bounce harmlessly off. Museum visitors, including Clark and Lois, flee as the monster marches towards the jewels and begins loading them into an opening in its back. Animation by Steve Muffati and George Germanetti. Music by Sammy Timberg. Produced in 1941. This short is impressive especially for the first five minutes. There’s no dialogue, just the sequence with the robot. The style and the technology is unique. The animation is clear with a even rhythm and pacing. You know this is an old cartoon just for the clothes and the technology in it. Pay attention to the panel control of the villain. It’s very retro in a 1960′s Batman or Star Trek sort of way. I wonder if today, animators could beat the eclectic mix of visual style. To find out if Superman can beat the robots WATCH Tomorrow Pictures.TV

Sita Sings the Blues is an interpretation of the ancient Indian epic Ramayana. It tells the story of the warrior prince Rama and his relationship with his wife Sita, who he rejects, breaking her heart. The film’s American animator Nina Paley could identify because she was dumped by her husband. “The film is semi auto-biographical,” she admits. “I folded in my own story of my marriage breaking apart. And what I do is occasionally cut from these fantasy scenes of fantasy ancient India to my own modern story.” The contemporary tale of Nina’s disintegrating marriage is just one of three stories in the film. In addition there’s the telling of the epic itself, as well as commentary from a group of three shadow puppets. But the most unusual aspect of the film is interspersing the storytelling with the Hindu goddess Sita singing the blues.The vocals come from the 1920′s American Jazz artist Annette Hanshaw. Paley included those songs because the lyrics and the sadness expressed resonated with her own pain. “I was going through a heartbreak. This combination of the songs, which were torch songs, was very sad. Also Annette Hanshaw’s voice, which was just so pure and vulnerable and clear.” Continue reading ‘Animation Imitating Life:’
