Animation is not childish
Welcome to the animation newsletter, we are a newsletter dedicated to informing readers about animation's history, addressing common misconceptions, and sharing global animation news. Oh yes, animation is revered throughout the world as a popular form of entertainment. As Dylan Gibson put it, animation is important because it makes us be able to tell stories and communicate emotions and ideas in a unique, easy-to-perceive the way that both small children and adults can understand. Animation has helped connect people throughout the world in a way that sometimes writing and live-action films cannot. Today, anyone can pick up a drawing tablet and show their ideas to the world. Drawn figures can be funny, or make something sad or serious have a playful, less intimidating feel to them to make the viewer feel more comfortable. Other times, it allows people to be united by a single passion, such as a fandom, and work on huge projects (called MAPs, which stands for multi animator project) about their interest to make something as high-quality as a professional film, such as The Five Giants, regardless of what beliefs and opinions differ.
