Early animated films in the U.S. often adapted comics because both relied on visual storytelling and simple, recognizable characters. Comics provided pre-established characters, making them popular and marketable. Their humor and episodic formats also suited short films. In addition, the simplified art styles of comics were also easier to animate. Both comics and animation embraced a playful and exaggerated approach to storytelling, making comics ideal for early animated adaptations.
