Forbidden Animation: Censored Cartoons and Blacklisted Animators in America
Recommendations including this Document
Professor Nakagaki has selected some comparatively recent works from basic literature to provide an understanding of English-language research in animation, mainly focusing on works from the U.S. From a non-fiction account of Walt Disney Studios, based on the perspective of women, to books about Winsor McCay, the Fleischer brothers, United Productions of America (UPA), Pixar, the profession of voice actors and to censorship and the recent trends of animated documentaries, this selection should provide valuable insight.
This book traces the history of animation in the U.S. from the standpoint of censorship. It is informative and gives insight into criticism of racial stereotypes, the attitude of resistance toward censorship, and the media environment of TV animation. First published in 1998, it is now available in paperback.
