리미티드 미학의 영향을 받은 유럽 카툰 애니메이션 캐릭터의 표현방법 변화 연구 -안시 수상작을 중심으로 (1995년 - 2005년)

Abstract

Cartoon animation has increased its influence in the film industry and maximized artistic value. A task finding aesthetic value of cartoon animation is based on such circumstances. Liberalist cartoon animators that were interested in the modern art wanted a completely new style of animation in content form, and thus created so-called Limited animation. Cartoon animators that were influenced by Limited animation has produced characters based upon representation method of Limited aesthetics. Also, in order to understand the changes of representation method, works of existed school of animation were employed for comparison. In that sense, it is deserved to be recognized one of modern art genre, shaking off the infamy of inferior culture. The findings show that from initial period up to now, Annecy-awarded works have consistently sought surrealism strongly colored with minimulism in representing characters. This tendency has been developed by combining minimulism (emphasizing the elements that are to be communicated) with representation technique of cartoon animation. Its tendency still continues unabated. Cartoon animation has capability of encapsulating dream and hope that is difficult to be represented in an artistic way by employing the representation method of surrealism. Cartoon animation, I hope, is appreciated as one of art genre that efficiently weaves art, technology and philosophy in one film and will still deliver fun and enjoyment to the people watching it.
