A New History of Animation guides readers through the history and context of animation from around the world. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and explains all the key technical concepts, filling a gap in the market for a complete and well-researched animation history textbook that can be used by teachers in trade schools and universities worldwide, as well as by readers interested in the story of this evolving medium.
Topics covered include: early cinema and the foundations of the animation industry; animation as modern art and the emergence of the major studios; animation during wartime; stop-motion; new audiences for animation, in advertising, television, and games; animation from Eastern Europe; short films; computer-generated animation; international animation from Japan and elsewhere; and animation as an art form.
Maureen Furniss, PhD, is an artist, animation theorist and historian, and was the program director of Experimental Animation at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). She has received the Creative Impact in Animation Education Award from Variety magazine (2016), an award for Outstanding Contribution to Animation Studies from Animafest Zagreb (2017), and the ASIFA Prize (2023). She was the founding editor of Animation Journal (1992–2017) and author of several books on animation that have become standard texts. She has also lectured worldwide and served on festival selection committees and juries.
