In week 18, I focused on the second half of the literature review, emphasising the importance of theatricality in animation. Theatricality, like exaggeration, is a fundamental feature that greatly influences the spirit and quality of animation.
In this segment, I looked at how theatricality pervades the world of animation, amplifying its artistic attractiveness. I highlighted how theatrical aspects such as stagecraft, dramatic expressions, and larger-than-life characters are cleverly blended to produce engaging animated narratives through an in-depth analysis.
In addition, I investigated how animation titans like Disney and Pixar have skilfully used theatricality to create films that resonate with audiences, utilising the grandeur and emotion typical of theatrical performances. Their remarkable combination of classic theatrical techniques and cutting-edge animation has given rise to a new level in animated storytelling.
