Good thing you found this article then because I’m going to go over the issues Western animation had prior to 1989, what the significance of that year was and the impact it has had ever since! Prior to 1989, Western animation was in rather poor shape. In fact… The post 1989: The Year Western Animation Made A Comeback appeared first on Immortallium's Blog.
