Sažetak
Western animation has a rich history that has been in development since the early 20th century. Influential animators like Winsor McCay laid the groundwork that studios like Disney and Pixar continued to build upon. The main concern regarding animation in the West was how to make movements of characters as convincing as possible. Many animation styles such as rubber hose came close to it, with Disney finally succeeding with its fluid animation. Japanese animation, on the other hand, was not concerned with the fluidity of movements. It instead chose to be visually similar to manga while tackling a wide variety of genres in a very unique way, allowing it to carve its niche in the animation market. Two movies that are chosen to represent Western animation are Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and WALL-E, while Akira and Spirited Away serve as as a representation of Japanese animation.
