We believe animation is important because it makes us be able to tell stories and communicate emotions and ideas in a unique, easy-to-perceive way that both small children and adults can understand. Animation has helped connect people throughout the world in a way that sometimes writing and live-action films cannot. Most people do not consider animation to be something other than an entertainment outlet for young children, when this isn’t necessarily the case. Anyone has the potential to pick up a drawing tablet and show off what they can do, even though it might not be the easiest for some people, everyone can do their best to let out their message to the world. Whether it’s through the simplest drawings such as a stick figure with stretchy limbs, or a fully animated character with a story they want to share, we want to let people know that this is a way for them to show off to the world.
