Product Overview
Though ordinarily associated with children's entertainment, animation has an ability to express the absurd and the profound across a broad range of narratives and themes. Looking at the ways in which animated works reflect and subvert real-world physics, comment on their own artifice, play with audience expectations and encapsulate filmmaking styles, Sam Higgs explores the medium's advantages and multifaceted possibilities.
