Re-frames the computer-animated film as a new genre of contemporary cinemaWidely credited for the revival of feature-length animated filmmaking within contemporary Hollywood, computer-animated films are today produced within a variety of national contexts and traditions. Covering thirty years of computer-animated film history, and analysing over 200 different examples, 'The Computer-Animated Film: Industry, Style and Genre' persuasively argues that this body of work constitutes a unique genre of mainstream cinema. Informed by wider technological discourses and the status of animation as an industrial art form, the book not only theorises computer-animated films through their formal properties, but connects elements of film style to animation practice and the computer-animated film's unique production contexts.Key FeaturesProvides a wide-ranging focus on a multitude of animation studios, companies, facilities, divisions and subsidiaries in Hollywood and beyondSupported throughout by close textual analysis and clearly marked case studiesExpands the critical examination of computer-animated films by combining animation and film theory together with theories of animation practice, industry papers and original studio production memosCase StudiesShark Tale (2004)Hoodwinked!
