| Summary |
"Animation, Sport and Culture is a wide-ranging study of both sport and animated films. From Goofy to Goalkeepers, Wallace and Gromit to Tiger Woods, Mickey Mouse to Messi, and Nike to Nationhood, this Olympic-sized analysis looks at the history of sport and animation from around the globe. Paul Wells not only explores how sport and animation address 'motion' and seek to produce particular outcomes that are visually spectacular, he examines the two disciplines as body languages that have particular aesthetic, political and technologically determined meanings and effects. Demonstrating that sport and animation are two profoundly significant aspects of contemporary culture, this ground-breaking study will be enjoyed by sports fans and cartoon lovers alike."-- Provided by publisher |
