Summary
"Offers an overview of a new and expanded form of animation that uses advanced digital technology to create fresh and innovative works of art. It is not about children's entertainment or the type of cartoon imagery that is generally produced for the motion picture industry, but rather it examines a new genre of animation that is exploring alternative methods of expression in a free zone of artistic experimentation"--P. [3].
