Paul Rudish (born 1968) is an American animator originally known for his art, writing, and design work at Cartoon Network Studios on series created by Genndy Tartakovsky. He went on to co-create the series ''Sym-Bionic Titan'' and, in 2013, created, wrote and directed a new series of Mickey Mouse. ==Life and career== Paul's father, Rich Rudish, created the character Rainbow Brite for Hallmark and was art director for the 1985 movie ''Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paul Rudish trivia on IMDB )〕 Paul went into animation, too, studying in the Character Animation program at California Institute of the Arts. Rudish did character design and storyboard work early in his career, most notably for ''Batman: The Animated Series''. When Cartoon Network started producing new shows as Cartoon Network Studios, he quickly expanded into new roles on series created by Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken. He wrote, designed characters, or directed art for episodes of series including ''Dexter's Laboratory'', ''The Powerpuff Girls'', and ''Samurai Jack''. He moved up to directing art for the entire production of the 2003 ''Star Wars: Clone Wars'' miniseries. In 2010, Rudish earned his first co-creator credit for the series ''Sym-Bionic Titan'', which he co-created with Tartakovsky and ''Samurai Jack'' writer Bryan Andrews. He wrote the series and also designed the characters and Sym-Bionic Units. Around the same time, he provided development art for the first season and second season opener of ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic''. Rudish's next project saw him work with characters not created by him or frequent collaborator Tartakovsky: Mickey Mouse and friends. Rudish created, executive produced and directed a series of 19 three-and-a-half minute shorts titled simply ''Mickey Mouse''. The series uses the character designs and personalities from the earliest Mickey, Donald, and Goofy shorts, even using lesser known characters such as Clarabelle. Many of the shorts use a classic story structure in which Mickey must overcome a series of obstacles to achieve a seemingly simple goal, though some highlight the more playful aspects of animation, such as Mickey's cartoony evasive moves in "No Service" or the ability of characters to detach and reattach their ears (complete with temporary deafness) in "Bad Ear Day". Despite the retro feel, the developers used modern animation techniques and tools. Further, they did update some elements, most notably the vivid, detailed backgrounds and super-smooth animation in fast-paced scenes. They also took stylistic risks, basing some episodes entirely in foreign countries. In most of these, the characters speak sparingly, if at all, while in "Croissant de Triomphe", set in Paris, the characters speak entirely in French. The first short was released on June 28, 2013, on Disney Channel, Disney.com and WATCH Disney Channel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mickey Mouse to Star in New Cartoon Shorts with Classic Comedy, Contemporary Flair )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Rudish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
