Over the summer i did some reading in order to see what animation is like in the rest of the world, for this i got some books out about soviet animation, Chinese animation, a book on Disney, a book on european animation and a book on the history of anime in order to form a better understanding to compare animation from the UK to the rest of the world. However after doing said reading i've realised that i would sooner research a more specific country as opposed to my dissertation being "UK vs Rest of the world", as this would not only add more pressure on me to research a very large body of work to compare UK animation against.
I have instead decided to focus my research into anime as it is a form of animation that i enjoy, and feel as though the methodology behind anime could teach animation studios around the world positive things such as creating dynamic animation while maintaining a low budget, particularly with my interest in narrative animation.
So far my research has mostly been around the history of anime, and i have discovered that initially animation in japan was used for propaganda and resembled very early Disney and Betty Boop cartoons, and that the first "Anime" is considered to be astroboy.
