Animation has become a vital documentary tool. How and why did this happen? Find the answer in this brilliant assembly of ground-breaking essays.--Bill Nichols, author of Introduction to Documentary 3rd edition (2017)

The work of the editors and chapter authors provides a valuable collection of information, philosophical thought and production considerations that every animation teacher, researcher and practitioner need to read and have handy. It will serve as a reference and provide guidance for their own investigation as well as for that of their students.--Robert Musburger "Animationstudies 2.0"
