The Library's latest theme collection dives into the fascinating world of animation. The collection offers a diverse overview of the history of animation, production processes, styles, and cultural significance. It includes materials ranging from classic animated films (such as Mickey Mouse) to modern techniques like 3D animation and motion capture.

This collection is especially useful for students in visual arts, film and media studies, as well as for enthusiasts of art and visual culture – and for anyone interested in the role of animation in entertainment, education, and social impact. The materials explore topics such as visual language in animation, character design, screenwriting, and practical techniques for creating animation.

You are welcome to explore the richness and diversity of animation!

The Animation and animated films theme collection is available online via a permanent link, so you can return to it whenever needed.
