Description

Paul Wells' "Animation: Genre and Authorship" offers a unique perspective on the distinctive language of animation, exploring its production processes and the questions surrounding authorship in this medium. By challenging traditional notions of cinema and visual culture, the book provides an insightful analysis of individual animators and their work within studios such as Disney and Dreamworks.

The study delves into the use of animation across various genres, including horror, science fiction, documentary, and propaganda, revealing its versatility and impact on contemporary culture. With a focus on the specific issues surrounding animation's unique models of "auteurism", this book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the medium.
