Description

Lavishly illustrated and encyclopedic in scope, "The World History of Animation" tells the genre's 100-year-old story around the globe, featuring key players in Europe, North America, and Asia. From its earliest days, animation has developed multiple iterations and created myriad dynamic styles, innovative techniques, iconic characters, and memorable stories. Stephen Cavalier's comprehensive account is organized chronologically and covers pioneers, feature films, television programs, digital films, games, independent films, and the web. An exhaustive time line of films and innovations acts as the narrative backbone, and must-see films are listed along with synopses and in-depth biographies of individuals and studios. The book explains the evolution of animation techniques, from rotoscoping to refinements of cel techniques, direct film, claymation, and more. A true global survey, "The World History of Animation" is an exciting and inspirational journey through the large and still-expanding animation universe - a place as limitless as the human imagination. This title is a comprehensive international history of animation, featuring all genres, styles, media, and techniques. It features film, television, and web-based animation. It is illustrated in full color throughout. It includes comprehensive biographies of leading practitioners.

Reviews
"Almost epic as it showcases the evolution of animation techniques that are the core of the genre... Easy on the eyes and fun to read. A great addition."--Library Journal "All animation aficionados will want this beautiful volume for their personal collections. It is also an informative, well-researched resource."--Choice "A fascinating journey through the more unusual and unheard of artists whose creations have caused wonderment and controversy around the world, as well as offering new insight into old favorites."--Subtitledonline

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
