Long before flying saucers, robot monsters, and alien menaces
invaded our movie screens in the 1950s, there was already a
significant but overlooked body of cinematic science fiction.
Through analyses of early twentieth-century animations, comic
strips, and advertising, Animating the Science Fiction Imagination
unearths a significant body of cartoon science fiction from the
pre-World War II era that appeared at approximately the same time
the genre was itself struggling to find an identity, an audience,
and even a name. In this book, author J.P. Telotte argues that
these films helped sediment the genre's attitudes and motifs into a
popular culture that found many of those ideas unsettling, even
threatening. By binding those ideas into funny and entertaining
narratives, these cartoons also made them both familiar and
non-threatening, clearing a space for visions of the future, of
other worlds, and of change that could be readily embraced in the
post-war period.
