Des questions concernant des phrases d'exemple avec, et la définition et l'utilisation de "Part"

A: Yes, it is slang. And I'm not sure who Val Kilmer is since I haven't heard of him before, but you could be correct. I did a quick search on him and it seems that Val Kilmer has been in movies before, and it could be possible that those movies had buff men in them, so Dwight could be implying "Val has seen many buff dudes before, but you're going to be the buffest dude he has ever seen."

A: @massive Oh, okay! So then Susan is empathizing with him. Basically she’s saying, “Yeah, it must be awkward being in charge of the boss’s wife.” Because if he were to do something she didn’t like, she could theoretically complain to his boss, which opens him up to the possibility of being fired for no legitimate reason. She’s not saying that she would do that, but that it must not be enjoyable for him that he has to factor that into his decision-making when it comes to her.

✓ In fact, Fujioka's studio subcontracted the production of (several) TV series for American networks including certain episodes of Walt Disney’s Ducktale after the failure of the union’s strike. Meanwhile, Miyazaki left his studio and made an original feature aimed at the international (or U.S.) market Nausicaa: the Valley of the Wind (1984) at the aforementioned studio which specialized in subcontracts of American cartoon production.

A: × By the way, Toei Animation, the studio Miyazaki used to work in, re-started recruiting and gained around a dozen of talents as ‘trainees’, not employees, in 1981, who belonged to the same generation as the forementioned Itano did.
✓ By the way, in 1981, Toei Animation, the studio Miyazaki used to work for, re-started recruiting and gained around a dozen new talents as ‘trainees’, not employees, who belonged to the same generation as the forementioned Itano did.
*Consider not using “by the way” in an essay.
**Consider making this 2 sentences. Example: “not employees. They belonged...”.

× That fact that Toei Animation produced the Transformers TV show, planned by an American studio Marvel, implies that Toei apparently knew about the conflict in Hollywood and for the first time in years they decided to build up a young workforce in expectation of subcontracting from Hollywood studios.
✓ The fact that Toei Animation produced the Transformers TV show, planned by an American studio Marvel, implies that Toei apparently knew about the conflict in Hollywood, and for the first time in years, they decided to build up a young workforce in expectation of being subcontracted by Hollywood studios.

× They encouraged their show designers to make the shows as visually complex as they could, because they were confident the animators in Japan would draw everything with their high skills for lower wages than in Hollywood without complaint, like cartoon studios in South Korea and Taiwan began to do subcontracting jobs from Japanese anime studios in the late 1960s.
✓ They encouraged their show designers to make the shows as visually complex as they could, because they were confident the animators in Japan would draw everything with their high skills for lower wages than in Hollywood without complaint. Even cartoon studios in South Korea and Taiwan began to do subcontracted jobs from Japanese anime studios in the late 1960s.

A: "American cartoons developed alongside the Great Depression in the 1930s, while Japanese cartoons met increasing demand during a period of rapid economic growth in the 1960s. In short, the labor movement in Japan's animation industry was thirty years behind its American counterpart and eventually branched out in a different direction. Ironically, the Hollywood animation industry, which was supposed to be the front-runner in cartoon production, followed the Japanese animation industry in 1982, and its reign was ended."

I think the only thing I would really change is the last sentence. When you say that the Hollywood animation industry "followed" the Japanese animation industry in 1982, I think it's best to be clear about exactly what you mean by "followed." Were they making less profits in America? Was there less overall production? Were there less workers in the industry? Or was the overall size of the industry simply smaller?

I also changed "its dominating union was defeated" as I'm not quite sure what you mean by "union." Please let me know if your intended meaning has been expressed in the modified sentence.

A: I would only make some small changes:
"Let me just recap here in case we're losing track. The first golden age of Japanese animation came in the 1960s, with the television era, after the major Japanese film company, Toei, had been producing animated features every year since 1958. It's a little-known fact that the success of Disneyland, which opened in Los Angeles in 1955, was the inspiration for Toei to examine the possibility of starting a cartoon business both in and out of Japan. While the Japanese film industry was failing in the early 1960s, a growing demand for TV commercials, especially animated ones, boosted the animation business. In 1963, "Astroboy" made a name for itself as the first 30-minute Japanese TV show, following the popularity of American cartoon shows, such as Popeye, in Japan. "Astroboy" set the scene for other Japanese-made series like "Gigantor", as many were eager to ride the wave of Japan’s immense economic growth."

A: × The person who made this criticism was kept anonymous in the article, was probably the same animator who used to be a leader in the movement to form a labor union at Toei Animation in 1959.
✓ The person who made this criticism and was kept anonymous in the article, was probably the same animator who used to be a leader in the movement to form a labor union at Toei Animation in 1959.

× That news quickly made Toei Animation turn its attention to TV cartoon production, trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice.
✓ That news quickly made Toei Animation turn its attention to TV cartoon production, trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice. (I don’t really understand what this “lightning in a bottle twice” means, I’ve never heard it before)

× He was one of them who trampled the in-house union's efforts to establish a well-balanced wage system, in spite of himself who used to be a union activist.
✓ He was one of them and he trampled the in-house union's efforts to establish a well-balanced wage system, in spite of the fact he used to be a union activist.

Very good overall! Just some tiny grammar things.

I don’t know if the lightning in the bottle is a reference or an idiom cause I’ve never heard of it before but I’m guessing it means like they are trying to be successful again? I’ve heard of “striking while the iron is hot” it sounds like it might be similar.

Maybe someone else knows? Sorry Americans tend not to use tons of idioms in everyday life but I know there are lots of them!

Hope this helped a little. Let me know if you have any questions! Good luck :)
