Historical Dictionary of Animation and Cartoons
Nichola Dobson
Animation was once a relatively simple matter,
using fairly primitive means to produce rather
short films of subjects that were generally
comedic and often quite childish. However,
things have changed, and they continue changing
at a maddening pace. One new technique after
another has made it easier, faster, and above
all cheaper to produce the material, which has
taken on an increasing variety of forms.
The Historical Dictionary of Animation and
Cartoons is an introduction to all aspects of
animation history and its development as a
technology and industry beyond the familiar
cartoons from the Disney and Warner Bros.
Studios. This is done through a chronology, an
introductory essay, photos, a bibliography, and
over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on
animators, directors, studios, techniques,
films, and some of the best-known characters.
Nichola Dobson is an independent scholar based
in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is currently
researching in the areas of animation studies and television genre.
