Animation (Animation)

Animation is a peer-reviewed academic journal that serves as one of the foremost international outlets for rigorous interdisciplinary research on animation and moving image culture. Established in 2006, it was created to unite a broad range of scholarly and creative inquiries into the nature, history, theory, and practice of animation across media and disciplinary boundaries. The journal includes original research articles, critical essays, theoretical explorations, and reviews that engage with animation in its many forms — from traditional hand-drawn techniques to digital, procedural, and interactive animated media — as well as its intersections with film studies, visual culture, art and design, media technologies, and cultural theory. Animation is essential reading for academics, researchers, and advanced students in animation studies, media and cultural studies, visual arts, computer games and digital media, and related creative practices, providing deep insight into how animation shapes and is shaped by social, historical, and technological forces. It also encourages dialogue between practitioners and theorists, bridging analytical frameworks with creative and technological developments in the global animation landscape. The journal’s international editorial board and its publication through SAGE Publications reflect its commitment to high scholarly standards and broad academic impact.
