Although a few monographs have been published in English on Chinese animation, they are from the perspective of scholars rather than of the animators who personally worked on the films, as discussed in this volume. Featuring hidden histories and names behind the scenes, precious photos, and commentary on rarely seen animated films, this book is a timely and useful reference book for researchers, students, animators, and fans interested in Chinese and even world animation. This book originated from the Animators' Roundtable Forum (April 2017 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), organized by the Association for Chinese Animation Studies"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes This work consists of expanded versions of the animators' roundtable presentations translated into English Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 14, 2021) Subject Shanghai mei shu dian ying zhi pian chang -- History SUBJECT Shanghai mei shu dian ying zhi pian chang fast Subject Animated films -- China -- History and criticism Animators -- China Animated films -- Social aspects -- China Socialism and motion pictures -- China Animated films Animated films -- Social aspects Animators Socialism and motion pictures China Genre/Form Criticism, interpretation, etc. History Form Electronic book Author Du, Daisy Yan, editor.
