American Animation History
American Animation History examines a lesser-studied aspect of
Hollywood cinema in order to give students a greater awareness of
Hollywood’s developmental, artistic, and commercial history. By
examining the history of Hollywood animation (to include viewing
examples of the various periods, styles, studios, and techniques),
students will become familiar with a significant, long-standing
area of visual entertainment which is of much importance in its own
right. Furthermore, students will gain a greater understanding of
how Hollywood functions as an industry, as well as how wide-ranging
animation’s influence has been for cinema, television, and the
arts. This module, which in some ways follows on from the
first-year module History of Hollywood Cinema, makes an
excellent foundation module for the third-year module Disney
Studies.
