The Animated Bestiary critically evaluates the depiction of animals in cartoons and animation more generally. Paul Wells argues that artists use animals to engage with issues that would be more difficult to address directly because of political, religious, or social taboos. Consequently, and principally through anthropomorphism, animation uses animals to play out a performance of gender, sex and sexuality, racial and national traits, and shifting identity, often challenging how we think about ourselves. Wells draws on a wide range of examples, from the original King Kongto Nick Park's Chicken Run to Disney cartoonsùsuch as Tarzan, The Jungle Book, and Brother Bearùto reflect on people by looking at the ways in which they respond to animals in cartoons and films. 606 $aAnimals in motion pictures 606 $aAnimals in motion pictures 606 $aAnimated films - History and criticism 606 $aAnimated films -- History and criticism 606 $aAnimated films 606 $aAnimals in motion pictures$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnimated films 606 $aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film$2HILCC 606 $aFilm$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aAnimals in motion pictures. 615 4$aAnimals in motion pictures. 615 4$aAnimated films - History and criticism. 615 4$aAnimated films -- History and criticism. 615 4$aAnimated films. 615 0$aAnimals in motion pictures$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAnimated films 615 7$aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film 615 7$aFilm 676 $a741.5 676 $a791.43 676 $a791.43/662 676 $a791.43662 700 $aWells$b Paul, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0613564 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454408703321 996 $aThe Animated Bestiary$92447729 997 $aUNINA
