Prompt 1
The differences are quite pronounced. In Western culture, the styles of animation are diverse and dynamic, often influenced by the rhythm of music and sound. They can range from energetic and lively to calm and serene, serving various artistic purposes. Western animation often employs minimalistic backgrounds to highlight character movements and emotions or detailed ones to emphasize specific aspects of the story or style. Characters are designed with intense personalities to create depth, and aesthetically, any artistic style can be embraced to enhance the animation and narrative. There are few restrictions on creativity, even in the face of political scrutiny. Big film companies actively support the production of both short and feature-length animated films, primarily for entertainment and profit. In some Western countries, tax revenue is also used to fund animated films aimed at educating the public.
In contrast, Eastern animation focuses more on education than entertainment. It often takes an abstract approach, emphasizing the narrative through artistic means. The creative aspects are beautiful, with a tendency to innovate techniques. However, they are restricted because some governments don’t accept artistic freedom. The lack of it is remarkable. Some Eastern animated works contain elements of communist ideology, which can influence viewers’ beliefs. The creation of animation in this context has a strong focus on political or ideological narratives. The money support for these movies comes from the governments, instead of private companies.
