To comprehend the art of animated film you must go back to 1940′s Golden Age. “Snow White” and “Gulliver’s Travels” showed everyone that animation could be beautiful and successful. These films inspired more creative efforts in animation. Development of the multi plane camera during the production of Pinocchio took the creative possiblities of animation to a whole new level in the film industry. One of the most beautiful films ever made “Pinocchio” is a film for any student of movies or animation to study. The juxtaposition of complexity and simplicity in movement, sound, development and storytelling make “Pinocchio” the apex of animation discovery.

It is this cornerstone that has kept animated films on the forefront of technology. Today’s 3D feature capability in films like “Avatar” competes with water-washed drawings on films like “The Triplets of Belleville”. All utilizing modern technology in its own way. From the beginning of film until today animation continues to be the forward thinking avenue. Often thought of as children’s movies, animated films must reach a diverse and intelligent audience to keep parents bringing kids back to the theater. It is this variation of the complex and simple that help move the film industry into amazing creativity.
