All of the Herculoids displayed * Human-level intelligence - employing precision teamwork and complex * tactics - as well as emotions, and Zandor and Tara both * displayed a working knowledge of complex alien technologies as well as * the ability to pilot interstellar spacecraft—but essentially, Zandor, * Tara, Dorno, and the Herculoids were fighting to keep Amzot/Quasar a * technology-free, primitive planet. This is further * indicated by the pseudo-barbarian outfits of Zandor, Tara, and Dorno * and the fact that technology was used mainly by the various villains, * but rarely if ever by the heroes. Although the "speech" of their * companions was limited and repetitive, Zandor, Tara * and Dorno demonstrated that Gloop and Gleep, at least, had a * comprehensive mode of communication, and that they could at least * understand and interpret this language. * * * * **The drawing is at least 35 years old. * * I have the piece of rope you were looking for... * Original "rough" animation drawing in black and non-photo blue pencil with the notations in black and non-photo blue * Size of drawing: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2"Very good; minor rips to right margin that can matted out * Traditional animation is a multi-step process which includes various types * of art techniques.  Drawings are a key part of the process, in which the * animator creates the design and movement of the characters.  Drawings are * then transferred onto acetate cels (by hand-inking and/or photo copying) to * create a production cel, which is then hand painted on the back side, * using paint colors chosen and approved by the creator of the series.  * * * * * The drawing is ready to be matted and * framed.  The notations are located at the top and bottom of the drawing *
