The Story of British Animation

Reviews / Votes

A highly readable history ... if Stewart's book has a fault, it's far too short. -- Philip Kemp * Sight and Sound * An excellent read. The style is accessible to the casual reader with an interest in the topic, but is still sufficiently detailed and full of fascinating facts to be of interest to the animation expert or student. * Animation for Adults * Finally - someone has written the history of British animation! It's readable, has beautiful images and provides a much-needed overview of British animation. Great for teaching, but also really useful as a way of familiarizing yourself with the territory and as a springboard for your own research. -- Bella Honess Roe, University of Surrey, UK This is an accessible, highly informed, introduction to British Animation, which takes into account its history, distinctiveness and place as a socially engaged art form and practice. -- Paul Wells, Loughborough University, UK At long last this book has been written! Not only does Stewart fill in the gaps of the British animation story, but he also brings the rich history and remarkable achievements of British animation into the public eye. -- Steve Henderson, Manchester School of Art, UK Well researched and dense with historical detail ... Stewart's own evident passion for animation brings welcome color to the history. * Animation Studios 2.0 *
