Introduction

Animation is a global artform. The Animation Atlas is an essential guide to this exciting and expansive world. A cartography of cartoons, The Animation Atlas takes in everything from titans of animation, such as Disney, Pixar, Aardman and Studio Ghibli, to pioneers, innovators and rising stars from the wider world of cinema. A truly global history of animation, each of the 30 chapters focuses on a different country, zooming in on local talent that has pushed the form forward – from Spain and South Africa to China and Chile.
