Historical and Contemporary Animation 9 - Terry Gilliam

Terry Gilliam is one of the most notable figures in British animation History. This fact is really funny and interesting, considering he's the only American Monty Python. Still, his animated shorts featured in Monty Python's Films and TV shows are some of the most famous animations to come out of England. His iconic art style is part of what made the comedy troupe successful.
His animation style consists of found images and notable british iconography, things like english policeman and cutout images from ads from the 1900s add more to the surrealistic comedy type of the Pythons.














Terry Gilliam did quite well for an American in England. Hopefully the next two years i'm staying here i'll be able to do somewhat of the same thing.
