Animation Studios

Definitions of animation is, a motion picture made from a series of drawings simulating motion by means of slight progressive changes. a motion picture made by photographing successive positions of inanimate objects. The definition of studio is artist's workroom, room, building, or group of buildings where movies, television shows, or radio programs are produced, company that produces films, studio apartment.

Animation studios, like movie studios, may be production facilities, or financial entities. In some cases, especially in Anime they continue the tradition of a studio where a Master or group of talented individuals oversees the work of lesser artists and crafts persons in realizing their vision.

The first examples of trying to capture motion into a drawing can already be found in Paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to depict a sense of motion. Walt Disney Animation Studios is the animation studio that makes up a key element of The Walt Disney Company, and the oldest surviving animation studio in the world. The feature animation studio was an integrated part of Walt Disney Productions from 1934 (the start of production on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) until 1986, when, during the corporate restructuring to create The Walt Disney Company, it officially became a subsidiary of the company. The studio was named Walt Disney Feature Animation (WDFA) until 2007, when it was renamed to reflect its change of direction under new management.
