I feel that the difference in animation between the West and the East was different .In the sense that in the west animation was more modern when it came to animation and what I mean by that is the level of themes and idea that were used were more advanced. Given the economic situation was much better and artists were able to produce higher quality films given the opportunity that they could be more open minded when it came time to create films. Opposed to the East that was not in the same position economically speaking and therefore had to be more closed minded in a way and what I mean by that is they created more average films that had to relate to specific themes and ideas.
