PREFACE


 

In Praise of Animized Film

Serge Diaghilev to Jean Cocteau, while riding a gig in the Bois de Boulogne : "Stupefy me !"
Louis Pasteur to Odilon Redon, during the opening of the artist's exhibition : "Your monsters are alive !".

The task Giannalberto Bendazzi took upon himself with this book was to reconstruct the events of animation cinema troughout the years, and to describe the linguistic aspects wich group the visual arts into families. I will limit myself to simply adding a few notes.
