The History of Chinese Animation I, Hardback Book

The History of Chinese Animation I Hardback

Edited by Lijun Sun

Part of the China Perspectives series

Hardback

Description

China has been one of the first countries to develop its own aesthetic for dynamic images and to create animation films with distinctive characteristics.

In recent years, however, and subject to the influence of Western and Japanese animation, the Chinese animation industry has experienced several new stages of development, prompting the question as to where animation in China is heading in the future. This book describes the history, present and future of China’s animation industry.

The author divides the business’s 95-year history into six periods and analyses each of these from an historical, aesthetic, and artistic perspective.

In addition, the book focuses on representative works; themes; directions; artistic styles; techniques; industrial development; government support policies; business models; the nurturing of education and talent; broadcasting systems and animation. Scholars and students who are interested in the history of Chinese animation will benefit from this book and it will appeal additionally to readers interested in Chinese film studies.
