Twenty years ago, animated features were widely perceived as
cartoons for children. Today, though, they encompass an astonishing
range of films, styles and techniques. There is the powerful adult
drama of Waltz with Bashir; the Gallic sophistication of Belleville
Rendez-Vous; the eye-popping violence of Japan's Akira; and the
stop-motion whimsy of Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the
Were-Rabbit. Andrew Osmond provides an entertaining and
illuminating guide to the endlessly diverse world of animated
features, with entries on 100 of the most interesting and important
animated films from around the world, from the 1920s to the present
day. There are key studio brands such as Disney, Pixar and
Dreamworks, but there are also recognised auteur directors such as
America's Brad Bird (The Incredibles) and Japan's Hayao Miyazaki
(Spirited Away). Technologies such as motion-capture, used in films
such as Avatar, blur the distinctions between live-action and
animation. Meanwhile, lone artists such as Nina Paley (Sita Sings
the Blues) and Bill Plympton (Idiots and Angels) make entire films
by themselves. Blending in-depth history and criticism, 100
Animated Feature Films balances the blockbusters with local success
stories from Eastern Europe to Hong Kong. There are entries on
Dreamworks' Shrek, Pixar's Toy Story, and Disney's The Jungle Book,
but you will also find pieces on Germany's silhouette-based The
Adventures of Prince Achmed, the oldest surviving animated feature;
on the thirty year production of Richard Williams' legendary opus,
The Thief and the Cobbler; and on the lost work of Argentina's
Quirino Cristiani, who reputedly made the first animated feature in
1917.
