Animated Movie Guide by Jerry Beck
Going beyond the box-office hits of Disney and Dreamworks, this guide to every animated movie ever released in the United States covers more than 300 films over the course of nearly 80 years of film history. Well-known films such as Finding Nemo and Shrek are profiled and hundreds of other films, many of them rarely discussed, are analysed, compared, and catalogued. The origin of the genre and what it takes to make a great animated feature are discussed, and the influence of Japanese animation, computer graphics, and stop-motion puppet techniques are brought into perspective. Every film analysis includes reviews, four-star ratings, background information, plot synopses, accurate running times, consumer tips, and MPAA ratings. Brief guides to made-for-TV movies, direct-to-video releases, foreign films that were never theatrically released in the U.S., and live-action films with significant animation round out the volume.Jerry Beck is the author of more than fifteen books on the history of animation. He talks about modern animation at AnimationScoop.com and writes about classic cartoon characters at CartoonResearch.com. Beck, a former executive at Nickelodeon Movies and Disney TV, now teaches animation history at Woodbury University in Burbank, California, where he lives.
