Bukatman begins with Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland to explore how and why the emerging media of comics and cartoons brilliantly captured a playful, rebellious energy characterized by hyperbolic emotion, physicality, and imagination. The book broadens to consider similar "animated" behaviors in seemingly disparate media-films about Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh; the musical My Fair Lady and the story of Frankenstein; the slapstick comedies of Jerry Lewis; and contemporary comic superheroes-drawing them all together as the purveyors of embodied utopias of disorder. 606 $aAnimated films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFantastic, The, in art 606 $aFantasy in motion pictures 610 $aanimation. 610 $aanimators. 610 $aartists. 610 $acartoon artists. 610 $acartoons. 610 $acinema. 610 $acomic books. 610 $acomic superheroes. 610 $acomics. 610 $acreativity. 610 $aemotional. 610 $aenergy. 610 $afilm studies. 610 $afrankenstein. 610 $ahyperbolic. 610 $aimages. 610 $aimagination. 610 $ainner life. 610 $ajackson pollock. 610 $ajerry lewis. 610 $alittle nemo in slumberland. 610 $amedia historians. 610 $amedia studies. 610 $amy fair lady. 610 $apablo picasso. 610 $aphysicality. 610 $aplasmatic possibility. 610 $aplay. 610 $apower of imagination. 610 $arebellion. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $aslapstick comedy. 610 $avincent van gogh. 615 0$aAnimated films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFantastic, The, in art. 615 0$aFantasy in motion pictures. 676 $a700/.415 700 $aBukatman$b Scott$f1957-$01476375 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789920503321 996 $aThe poetics of Slumberland$93824076 997 $aUNINA
