When "Ryan" and "Bingo" were first put on in class, I was amazed by the artwork. The intricacy that was given to even the most seemingly minute detail caught my attention - the hairs on Ryan's head, the makeup on one of the clowns. I wondered how the artists could possibly have remembered to put all of those details in -- how long it took them to do it -- and how many different times they had to go over and over again to make sure everything looked absolutely perfect.
While attention to detail occupied my mind for much of the viewing, what really stuck with me was the emotional attachment that both "Ryan" and "Bingo" gave off. After watching "Bingo" much of the class, as well as myself, remarked how creepy it was. There was fear in the eyes of the man who is being called Bingo -- the eyes of the little clown-girl are still vivid in my mind days later. In "Ryan" especially, there was an enormous amount of a emotionality. The animation left me feeling attached to Ryan's character, feeling bad for him -- something that I would not necessarily have considered feeling toward a cartoon.
