Animation as an Industry

   This article was about how far the popularity of animation has come and how large and demanding the jobs are. It gave me a good idea of my chances of getting into the animating field. Though I've known animation is a growing industry, it's cool to see just how much it is. I'm glad that I'm in the generation of strong animated films. I suppose if I weren't I might not have loved it as much as I do now. The best thing about most animated movies is that they do appeal to all audiences. Not only are they kid friendly but they have in-depth stories that adults can get into as well. And that's what makes them so popular and why it's such a thriving industry. Or as the article states it's why "you get box office magic". Now Best Animated Feature is in the Academy Awards. In 2001 Shrek was honored the first of this award. And I'm glad, too. Animation is really the only category I pay attention to in the Academy Awards.
