Summary "This book is a historical and theoretical study of animation in the PRC. Although the Wan Brothers produced the first feature-length animated film in 1941, the industry as we know it today truly began in the 1950s at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio (SAFS), which remained the sole animation studio until the 1980s. Considering animation in China as a convergence of the institutions of education, fine arts, literature, popular culture, and film the book takes comparative approaches that link SAFS animation to contemporary cultural production, including American and Japanese animation, pop art, and mass media theory."
