ANIMATION IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Animation has had a global renaissance during the 1990s, and nowhere is this more evident than in Asia. The lavishly illustrated Animation in Asia provides the first continent-wide analysis of this art form, delving into issues of production, distribution, exhibition, aesthetics and regulation, in this burgeoning field. Animation in Asia also offers vignettes of the fascinating experiences of a group of animation pioneers. The historical and contemporary perspectives derive from interviews, textual analysis, archival research, and participation/observation data.
