Overview:
There are many different forms of animation and they are related to different methods of production, technology, techniques, geographic allotment of production and socio-economic conditions. Animation, apart from being a complex semiotic system, also hosts under the term "animation film" many different forms of animation, such as cel animation, stop motion animation, computer-generated animation, and others. These forms are related to different methods of production, technology, techniques, geographic allotment of production, and socio-economic conditions.
Whether cinema was invented in 1889 by Charles-Émile Reynaud and his Theatre Optique or in 1895 by the Lumière brothers, cinema from its early years was identified with live action films while animation films were associated with the visual effects of Georges Méliès. This dichotomy resulted in the devaluation of animation as a cinematic form and was grounded in the demand for "realism" and the misconception that live action films "depict reality" while animation films are "products of the imagination" and thus, "not real". The false belief that the cinematic sign has a referent in the natural world led to the assumption that animation is not cinema but something "other". In our days due to the rapid and continuous technological progress, the change in production methods and the massive use of animation and visual effects in live action film production that led to the consequent merging of the cinematic forms, we have realized more profoundly that all cinema is constructed, mediated and manipulated and so it is difficult to claim that any cinematic sign has a natural referent outside the semiotic system.
To return to animation theorists, Paul Wells (1998, 2007), Maureen Furnish (2008) and Giancarlo Bendazzi (2006) agree that animation has developed its own language in the course of its history. This language is continuously evolving and changing due to social changes and the constant technological developments that lead to consequent changes in production methods and labor. Animation is identified as such and differentiates itself as a cinematic form through its language that is connected to its material production methods. As the societies and the methods of production are changing, consequently the language of animation is constantly evolving and changing.
