Animation in China B y the turn of the twenty-fi rst century, animation production has grown to thou- sands of hours a year in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Despite this, and unlike American blockbuster productions and the diverse genres of Japanese anime, much animation from the PRC remains relatively unknown. T his book is a historical and theoretical study of animation in the PRC. Although the Wan Brothers produced the fi rst feature-length animated fi lm in 1941, the industry as we know it today truly began in the 1950s at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio (SAFS), which remained the sole animation studio until the 1980s. Considering animation in China as a convergence of the institutions of education, fi ne arts, literature, popular culture, and fi lm, the book takes comparative approaches that link SAFS animation to contemporary cultural production, including American and Japanese animation, pop art, and mass media theory. Through readings of classic fi lms such as Princess Iron Fan, Uproar in Heaven, Princess Peacock, and N ezha Conquers the Dragon King, this study represents a revisionist history of animation in the PRC as a form of “postmodernism with Chinese characteristics.” A s a theoretical exploration of animation in the PRC, this book will appeal to students and scholars of animation, fi lm studies, Chinese studies, cultural studies, and political and cultural theory. Sean Macdonald is assistant professor of Chinese studies at the University of Florida, U.S., where he lectures on modern and contemporary Chinese literature and culture.
