Compendium on the subject of animation. The project brings together materials from experimental and non-commercial domains; it looks at the use of the medium of animation and presents new critical receptions within high and low cultural and artistic production. It traces questions of a time image, the doubling that is integral to image formation, and notions of territorial and urban constructions within the discourse of animation history.
Includes conversations with artists, architects and researchers Takehito Deguchi, Koji Yamamura, Masaki Fujihata, Stephen Wilson, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Kenta Kishi, Saki Satom, Chikara Matsumoto, Naoyuki Tsuji, Hiromitsu Murakami, Takahiro Hayakawa and Toshimaru Nakamura address specific dimensions of Japanese animation, and make the claim for a structural coherence between animation and geographical, institutional and social ideas. In this duality of content and time, the book becomes a multilayered object. The format of the compendium - bookwork and map at once - enables a virtual journey in which the reader travels across various realms of a focused study.

Hooks uses basic acting theory to explain everything from character movement and facial expressions to interaction and scene construction. Just as acting on film and on stage are very different disciplines, so is the use of acting theory in creating an animated character, scene or story. Acting for Animators is full of essential craft tips from an acting master.

- Murray, Robin L. / Heuman, Joseph K.: That's All Folks? Ecocritical Readings of American Animated Features. Linclon, NE: University of Nebraska Press 2011, 296 S.
Although some credit the environmental movement of the 1970s, with its profound impact on children�fs television programs and movies, for paving the way for later eco-films, the history of environmental expression in animated film reaches much further back in American history, as That�fs All Folks? makes clear. Countering the view that the contemporary environmental movement�\and the cartoons it influenced�\came to life in the 1960s, Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann reveal how environmentalism was already a growing concern in animated films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. From Felix the Cat cartoons to Disney�fs beloved Bambi to Pixar�fs Wall-E and James Cameron�fs Avatar, this volume shows how animated features with environmental themes are moneymakers on multiple levels�\particularly as broad-based family entertainment and conveyors of consumer products. Only Ralph Bakshi�fs X-rated Fritz the Cat and R-rated Heavy Traffic and Coonskin, with their violent, dystopic representation of urban environments, avoid this total immersion in an anti-environmental consumer market. Showing us enviro-toons in their cultural and historical contexts, this book offers fresh insights into the changing perceptions of the relationship between humans and the environment and a new understanding of environmental and animated cinema.
