Reviews
'Wells thinks deeply about animation and sport as cultural fields. In this frame, he identifies their preoccupations and possibilities, unpacking their entanglements and interfaces. Thus, the monograph is at once history, cultural analysis, cinematic criticism, and meditation on sport and society. In each of these pursuits, Animation, Sport and Culture makes valuable contributions that recommend it to readers... [It] deserves a broad, interdisciplinary readership... And while it has value for specialists in these areas interested in animated film, it will surely reward others concerned with physicality, narrative, and culture more generally.' - C. Richard King, Professor of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies, Washington State University, USA
