	Animation
		Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation[?] and stop motion), and then photographing the result.
		Limited animation is a way of increasing production and decreasing costs of animation by using "short cuts" in the animation process.
		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.

	Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age covers the industry from its beginnings in 1911 to Walt Disney's death in December, 1966.
		The book details not only how American animation developed, but why cartoons of the period are considered to be `golden.' It's a lesson that can and should be learned by today's studio management.
		The 648-page book is sparsely illustrated, but there is a series of "flip book" animation drawings, done by Milton Gray, that demonstrate the evolution of the art form: "rubber hose," "stretch and squash," and "smear" animation.

	The Golden Age of American animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Golden Age of American animation is a period in American animation history that began with the advent of sound cartoons in 1928, peaked during the mid 1940s, and continued into the 1960s when theatrical animated shorts slowly began losing to the new medium of television animation.
		The exclusivity of animation also resulted in the birth of a sister industry that was used almost exclusively for motion picture special effects: stop motion animation.
		Hollywood special effects continued to develop in a manner that largely avoided cel animation, though several memorable animated sequences were included in live-action feature films of the era.

	The Triplets of Belleville - Film - www.theage.com.au
		As an animated movie for adults, it's so beautifully crafted it absorbs you in its curiously real yet imaginary world, while at the same time we gain an insight into the wonderful artistic talent of French writer-director Sylvain Chomet.
		There, she's taken in by a trio of ageing former French music-hall stars, the Triplets of Belleville, singers in the vein of the Andrews Sisters, and they become her detective partners, along with Bruno.
		I did some of the animation myself, but most was done by the 10 lead animators and assistants I'd trained in the beginning, and they developed their own feel for the characters and made them their own."

		The Disney Studio, like other animation studios during the Golden Age of Hollywood Animation, was not always kind to women who wanted to become animators.
		Ruth Kissane, Lyn Kroeger and other talented women animators contributed to the classic Disney animation we love, and yet their names are as completely unknown to us today as the names of the Nine Old Men were during the 1940s and early 1950s.
		After a trial period, she was given the position of "Coordinating Animator." At the time she lived in Mission Viejo (roughly 60 miles away from the Disney Studio) and commuted to her job in a van pool.

	Censorship and Golden Age Animation
		Violence is a staple of animated shorts, and of concern to parents and child psychologists.
		Since animation is considered a children's entertainment form, adults have rarely tuned into such shows, and the result is that animation companies have been able to get away with the shoddiest craftsmanship imaginable.
		From the standpoint of one who believes that the creators of animated cartoons deserve the same amount of respect as the creators of live action films, the way that the entertainment industry treats animation is deplorable.

	Ice Age Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Ice Age employs the same character dynamic used in both of 2001's animated blockbusters: the hefty, thoughtful, silent type paired with the squat, gregarious chatterbox.
		Sadly, Fox Animation Studios won't be making any future films, having been shut down by Rupert Murdoch after their 2000 effort, Titan A.E., failed at the box office.
		The film is rated PG for "mild peril," but ought to be rated BM, for "Bambi's mother." Though there are some confrontational moments with the animals, the only really traumatic scene comes early, when a pack of tigers attack a village of humans and chase down a mother and her child.
