"What is Animation?"
Who's asking: Not Coming to a Theater Near You in another one of their collectively written extravaganzas: "[W]hat seems to have begun as an amusing scientific parlor trick, a simple optical illusion, now amounts to a vast range of technical possibilities, visual aesthetics, genres and subgenres in cel, stop-motion, and digital animation. This means that while we often use it to refer to a genre, the term 'animation' encompasses an unimaginably large spectrum of films that may have substantively little in common. The limitless variety in animation is in this way both its greatest strength and its Achilles heel."
In "Magic Kingdoms," Rumsey Taylor and Leo Goldsmith write that while there are "a number of immediate discrepancies between both men, fostered largely by the geographical and temporal distance between them., a thematic similarity persists between the work of Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki., and this similarity is the more remarkable phenomenon that emerges in a comparison between them".
