Animation was once a relatively simple matter; using fairly primitive means to produce rather short films of subjects that were generally comedic and often quite childish. However; things have changed; and they continue changing at a maddening pace. One new technique after another has made it easier; faster; and above all cheaper to produce the material; which has taken on an increasing variety of forms. The Historical Dictionary of Animation and Cartoons is an introduction to all aspects of animation history and its development as a technology and industry beyond the familiar cartoons from the Disney and Warner Bros. Studios. This is done through a chronology; an introductory essay; photos; a bibliography; and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on animators; directors; studios; techniques; films; and some of the best-known characters.
