About the Author:
Kristian Moen is Senior Lecturer in Film at the University of Bristol. He is the author of Film and Fairy Tales: The Birth of Modern Fantasy, as well as a number of other works which explore animation, fantasy, film history and modernity.
Press Reviews:
"Moen offers a meticulously and inventively researched account of the expanded place of animation in New York in two crucial years and across four intersecting spheres of activity. Animation here still incorporates familiar cel animation techniques, but also expands far beyond them. This book is an exciting and valuable addition to our understanding of animation, historically and theoretically, but it will also have considerable wider appeal to anyone interested in mid-century visual culture." (Malcolm Cook, Lecturer in Film, University of Southampton. Author of Early British Animation: From Page and Stage to Cinema Screens)
