Art in Motion: Animation Aesthetics is the first comprehensive examination of the aesthetics of animation in its many forms. It is therefore an essential resource for researchers, students and anyone with a serious interest in animation. Ideal as a course textbook or for general reading, Art in Motion provides thought-provoking analyses of animation produced throughout the world.

The first half of Art in Motion overviews the relationship between animation studies and media studies on a larger scale, then focuses on specific aesthetic issues concerning two-dimensional animation, limited and full animation and digital technologies. The second half contains a series of studies on particular topics, including abstract animation, audiences, representation and institutional regulators. This revised edition contains recent examples of animation, including updated information on digital media.
