1945 – 1989 (Late Modernity)

The animation industry began to relate to the fact that television continued its rise as the entertainment medium of choice for American families. Studios created many cartoons for TV, using a “limited animation” style. By the mid ‘80s, with help from cable channels such as The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, cartoons were always on TV.

At the University of Utah, in 1972, Ed Catmull developed a method to create computer generated movies, which script language was used. Nowadays, technology allows us to produce animations in a more efficient way, meaning that is less time consuming and even more pleasurable to watch. The Adventures of Andre and Wally B, was the first fully CGI animated film, which was created by The Graphics Group.
