	Animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cel animation, developed by Bray and Hurd in the 1910s, sped up the process by using transparent overlays so that characters could be moved without the need to repaint the background for every frame.
		The use of computer animation as a way of achieving the otherwise impossible in conventionally shot movies has led to the term "computer generated imagery" being used, though the term has become hard to distinguish from computer animation as it is now used in referring to 3D movies that are entirely animated.
		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.

	Toei Animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until 1998, Toei Animation was known as Toei Doga (東映動画 Tōei Dōga) (although even at that time the company’s formal English name was indeed “Toei Animation Co. Ltd.”), with “dōga” being the native Japanese word for “animation” which was widely used until the 1970s.
		Although known internationally for their animation division, Toei is, first and foremost, one of Japan’s most prominent motion picture studios (similar to Warner Bros. [which also has an animation division], Disney, MGM, etc, in the United States).
		Finally, Toei’s choice in who to give the rights to their shows has also caused controversy, specifically in regards to One Piece, Oja Majo Doremi (renamed, Magical “DoReMi”; note the different spelling) and recently, Pretty Cure, all of which were licensed to 4Kids.

	Sake-Drenched Postcards -Toei Animation Looks Back after Fifty Years
		Emphasizing bigscreen is one way Toei is adapting to changes in the local market and taking advantage of the global popularity of animation, an industry worth $20 billion annually.
		Toei recently opened branch offices in Europe, Latin America and Los Angeles as part of their overseas strategy of revitalizing existing titles and fostering such ancillary markets as merchandising.
		With rival studio Shochiku having established an animation division in 2004, motivation to stay competitive is never in short supply at Toei's headquarters in Tokyo.

	Sake-Drenched Postcards - Japan's Animators: On the Cutting Room Floor?
		But the animators who toil at the industry's drawing boards are increasingly finding this profession to be a difficult one with veterans growing weary.
		An animator might be seen as something similar to animation's version of the prop man or special effects technician in Hollywood motion pictures; he works in the background (quite literally), completing his work under the guidance of the creators of the characters and the producers of the features.
		Toei Animation was one of the first to convert its operation in Japan when it started using a digital ink and painting system 7 years ago.

		Animation studios typically use celluloid animation, a process in which a series of pictures is painted onto celluloid and then photographed.
		At the bottom rung of the animation ladder is the inbetweener who takes the key frames from the key animator and draws the frames in between, hence the title inbetweener.
		Toei Animation was founded as a subsidiary of Toei Co., Ltd. in 1956 in order to challenge Disney's control of the Japanese animation market.

		Toei Animation's venture into the North American market signified almost every fear that people have about the Japanese companies coming over and doing it themselves based on what their market research showed them.
		Toei owns a solid number of popular titles in Japan and have had many of them licensed over the years but at the same time has been pulling back on some of them for various issues, such as Sailor Moon.
		While Toei was the most frustrating company to deal with in 2006, they had the titles that I was the most excited about and started off with some real promise but failed to deliver.

	Japanese animation goes international
		Its Toei Animation Fair packages -- usually consisting of one feature and two featurettes, or one long feature, based on current TV animated series -- have become spring and summer holiday institutions for generations of Japanese kids.
		Where Toei has had success targeting under-twelves, using hit kiddy comics and games as the basis for its shows, rival Madhouse makes animation that often hits the sweet spot with teens and young adults, while using a larger proportion of original material.
		Launched in 1997, Micott & Basara is, not an animation house, but a self-described "contents management business" that links creators with producers and manages the rights generated from their properties, including theatrical films, TV programs, video software and character goods.

	A Capsule History of Anime
		The earliest Japanese animation was by individual film hobbyists inspired by American and European pioneer animators.
		Beginning in 1984, animation began to be produced especially for this market (resulting in a Japanese-created English term, OVA or OAV--for Original Anime Video--which has been adopted by American anime fandom as well).
		OAV animation is usually higher in quality than TV animation, but not as rich as theatrical animation.

		In the early 1960s, after working on several Toei animated features, Osamu Tezuka decided to make his own entry into the animation business, unlike Toei most of his work was for television.
		Animation and comics in America were at a low point during the 70s, other than Mad Magazine the popular comics were all superhero garbage, aimed solely at kids, and collectors.

		Toei Animation is one of Japan's oldest anime production studios, dating back to the Okami Shonen Ken (Wolf Boy Ken) anime series that premiered in November 1963.
		Toei's announcement of plans to begin localizing their anime productions for American release themselves isn't the first time a Japanese company has released its own productions in America, but the particularly circumstances surrounding Toei's introduction to American distribution are a bit unique.
		Toei's introduction into the American market is likely the first time that a major Japanese studio will be producing its DVDs itself, presumably in Japan, rather than having an American based office handle localizations.

		Miyazaki-san joined Toei Doga at the age of twenty three, and at twenty eight years old Takahata-san was already working as a director's assistant.
		We were, in short, at the level of "Toei kids' stuff." The gap between our level and the works we were inspired by was too big.
		For example, a key animator in the project said to the director, "I think this is better," and after talking it over, they decided to incorporate that idea.

	Film Series
		At a time when Japan's theatrical and television animation industries were shifting to the "limited animation" techniques that are still common today, Oshima's confrontational approach pushes animation to its absolute "limit," encouraging viewers to reconsider their relationship to the moving picture and question the differences of animated film itself.
		The Legend of White Snake was Toei's first leap into theatrical feature animation as well as Japan's first full-color, full-length anime film, with a story based upon on the Chinese folk tale "Bai Su Zhen." A white snake owned by a young man is transformed into a beautiful girl during a magical storm.
		Takahata's masterpiece was hailed by critics for the technical superiority of the animation and the complexity of the script and characters, but limited at the box office for lack of a cute and cheery atmosphere to satisfy Toei's usual young audience.

		Their 74-minute Momotaro's Gods-Blessed Sea Warriors was a juvenile adventure showing the Imperial Navy as brave, cute anthropomorphic animal sailors resolutely liberating Indonesia and Malaysia from the buffoonish foreign-devil (with horns) Allied occupiers--too late for even wishful dreaming, as it was barely released (in April 1945) before the war's end.
		Among the most influential was Toei's adaptation of comic-book artist Go Nagai's Mazinger Z, the first of the sagas about a gigantic flying mechanical warrior controlled by an (invariably teen) human pilot to defend Earth against invading space monsters.
		The 1984 Nausicaä was a smash success, resulting in Tokuma subsidizing a new animation studio, Studio Ghibli, for the personal theatrical features of Miyazaki and his friend Takahata.
