Ill Animation: from Mickey Mouse to TV sales tool (Lecturing: Mr. Jack Zander) Animation has played a specialized and important role in motion pictures since the early experimentation days of 1909. With the coming of sound in 1928, Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie showed the tremendous potentials of animation. Today, TV is using more and more of the output of the industry's animators to sell products. From the standpoint of client and agency, animation can offer much in the building of successful TV film commercials.

Since it is limited only by man's imagination, animation has practically no limits as compared to regular 'live' motion pictures. It can portray the abstract, the humorous, and the 'nuts-and-bolts' ideas in TV selling when it's used properly." Cautioned Zander: "Bear in mind that the only time animation is reallv called for is when vou have broad ac NORTH CAROLINA IS THE SOUTH'S No. 1 STATE AND NORTH CAROLINA'S North Carolina Rates More Firsts In Sales Management Survey Than Any Other Southern State.
