But the focus on live-action cinema leaves a significant gap in studying animated films. With the almost total pervasiveness of animation today, this collection provides the reader with a greater sense of how the animated landscapes of the present relate to those of the past. Including essays from international perspectives, \u003ci\u003eAnimated Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e introduces an idea that has seemed, literally, to be in the background of animation studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe collection provides a timely counterpoint to the dominance of character (be that either animated characters such as Mickey Mouse or real world personalities such as Walt Disney) that exists within animation scholarship (and film studies more generally). Chapters address a wide range of topics including history, case studies in national contexts (including Australia, Japan, China and Latvia), the traversal of animated landscape, the animation of fantastical landscapes, and the animation of interactive landscapes. \u003ci\u003eAnimated Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e promises to be an invaluable addition to the existing literature, for the most overlooked aspect of animation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Pallant\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer at Canterbury Christ Church University, UK.
