Advancing Animation Cartoons for the Western World

Description:

Animation in the western world is under-appreciated and often misaligned. This panel will discuss common misconceptions about the industry, moving away from the prevailing western idea that cartoons are for children, or that animation is a dying industry. This panel will examine animation as an art form, will discuss how technology has affected the creative process, and celebrate creators in the space who use animation to champion underrepresented voices and audiences.
