Animation, particularly in the form of hand-drawn cartoon film, has been widening its scope rapidly during the past few years. To the public it is still best known as light entertainment on the screens of both the cinema and television, and also as comic relief from the heavier kind of advertising film and television commercial. But it is used now in almost every way in which the live-action film is used — for films that explain and teach, for technical and scientific films, for documentary films and even, in certain special instances, in serious dramatic art. The design of the popular entertainment cartoon tends to be traditional, similar in many ways to drawing as it appears in the conventional comic strips and in book illustration. Following the post-war success of certain pioneer lihn-makers who introduced extreme forms of graphic stylisation into cartoons made for popular entertainment, other producers in America and elsewhere have followed this example and been successful in amusing a public that was almost entirely inexperienced in the humour that belongs to highly original forms of stylisation in comic drawing. Creative artists in animation are developing 94 new. individual styles in many different countries.
