	Animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Generating such a film tends to be very labour intensive and tedious, though the development of computer animation has greatly sped up the process.
		The "classic" form of animation, the "animated cartoon", as developed in the early 1900s and refined by Walt Disney and others, requires up to 24 distinct drawings for one second of animation.
		Because animation is very time-consuming and often very expensive to produce, the majority of animation for TV and movies comes from professional animation studios.

	Animated Films
		Writer/director Kerry Conran's feature film debut, the retro-futuristic sci-fi adventure film set in the late-1930s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) was the first live-action studio release in which every scene was at least partly computer-generated - supplemented with human actors (including Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow).
		The second film from the same team was Robots (2005), a slapstick, science-fiction animated film about clunky, nuts-and-bolts androids featuring Robin Williams (his first voice in an animated feature since 1992) as the voice of Fender.
		According to the Academy's rules, an 'animated film' must be at least 70 minutes in length, have a significant amount of major animated characters, and be at least 75% animated.

	DVD Review - Heavy Metal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Combining flashy imagery with a lot of violence and gratuitous sex, the film was the animated version of the comic book series of the same name and an easy to digest feast for pubescent boys with rock music influences and heroic dreams about a glorified adulthood filled with raunchy sex, drugs and rock and roll.
		The film completely captured and epitomized all the stereotypes of the generation and is now brought to DVD as a special edition by Columbia TriStar Home Video.
		Columbia’s release of this film is a fine example of a great special edition with tons of supplements to support the actual feature film.

	Outside the Bubble: What the Main Street Papers Say
		Animated feature films are viewed very highly, especially in Disney's case.
		Overall, I think the animated feature film is beginning to evolve out of the "kids only" realm, but it hasn't gotten very far yet in the eyes of the general public.
		Good animated films that offer non-kid content, although they might be kid-friendly, are not really for kids and tend to get overlooked which I think is unfortunate.

	Films - Animation World News Issue 2.7, October 1997
		Since the film was released in July, it has enjoyed sold-out shows at theaters throughout Japan, bringing in approximately U.S. $108 million at the box office in Japan, more than five times the amount of money that producers, Studio Ghibli, spent to make the film.
		These figures are impressive considering the price of a movie ticket in Japan these days is the equivalent of U.S. The popularity of the film in Japan could be attributed to Miyazaki's recent announcement that this is the last animated feature film that he will direct.
		Animation World News is compiled daily for publication in the AWN Daily Flash, the weekly Animation Flash email newsletter, and monthly issues of Animation World Magazine.

	A Short History of Animation
		Animation is a graphic representation of drawings to show movement within those drawings.
		Instead of numerous drawings, the animator now could make a complex background and/or foreground and sandwich moving characters in between several other pieces of celluloid, which is transparent except for where drawings are painted on it.
		He was the first animator to add sound to his movie cartoons with the premiere of Steamboat Willie in 1928.

		Yet a number of European animated features, such as Kirikou and the Sorceress, Chicken Run, Belleville Rendez-Vous, Lucky and Zorba, Raining Cats and Frogs, Black Mor’s Treasure, are, whatever their flaws, proof of a new creative energy.
		Financed by Pathé and DreamWorks and benefiting from their worldwide distribution networks, the film is in a totally different category from other European films, if in no other terms than its budget, considerably higher than any other animated film in Europe.
		The film is all the more problematic as an example since Aardman’s production of further feature films seems, for the moment, to be somewhat delayed.

	How to direct an animated feature film - SATURDAY SPECIAL (July 15, 2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		They oversee the development of the story, the creation of the animated characters, the recording of the dialogue on the movie's soundtrack, the composition of each shot, and the range of colors to be used to establish the film's visual "signature." In fact, the animation director controls virtually every frame of the movie he's making!
		For instance, Ralph Zondag and Eric Leighton, the makers of the new animated feature, "Dinosaur," had never worked with computers prior to making the film, and had to be open to its new possibilities.
		And animation directors should be able to think long-range, to visualize clearly and in exact detail scenes that come to life onscreen only after many months have passed after they were first conceptualized and planned in detail.
