What is Animation : The Pocket Essential Guide about?

Animation covers everything from Tex Averýs split-second slapstick and The Simpsonś knowing digs at pop culture, to Hayao Miyasakís strong-willed heroines and Yuri Norsteińs delicately rendered folktales. Often dismissed by the uninitiated as ́kid́s stuff́, any detailed look at animation reveals a technically complex, sophisticated and endlessly inventive medium. Intended both as a guide and an introduction to this fascinating field, the Pocket Essential Animation examines and celebrates this genre in its many forms. It explores the careers, techniques and key films of many of the major animators. It begins with pioneers such as Winsor McCay, the Fleischer brothers and Walt Disney when the ́House of Mousé was only a twinkle in his eye. Then brings you right up to date with Nick Parḱs claymation and the slick CGI comedies of John Lasseteŕs Pixar studio. In between, it takes in the innovations of Norman McLaren, the sexual obsessions of Bob Godfrey and the agit-prop surrealism of Jan Svankmajer. Kid́s stuff, indeed Title from eBook information screen Electronic reproduction. Chichester : Pocket Essentials Requires Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 560 KB) or Adobe Digital Edi
