The Beginning!

This semester at NYU I am doing an independent study on the history of animation.  I decided to start at disney (even though there was some animation around before that) and end at Pixar.  Specifically I am going to be looking at character development and style throughout this period.  The purpose of this course is for me to learn more about animation in an effort to give myself a better base.  I will be reading several books and watching tons of movies.  I will be analyzing them and giving my thoughts on them here.  If you have any input on books to read or movies to watch please email me at julia.q.heffernan@gmail.com .
