We have seen that many early animated films, particularly in the US, were based on print comics. Why do you think that is? What was there about comics that would make them an appropriate subject for film?
Early American animated films were often based on print comics for a few reasons. I think it’s because comics were already popular, so turning them into animation was a smart way to reach an even bigger audience. Also, since animation was a new and exciting medium at the time, it gave creators a fresh way to tell stories. This success later led to longer animated films and helped make animation a worldwide art form.
