A favourite quote on our office wall is by Lev Manovich: “Born from animation, cinema pushed animation to its boundary, only to become one particular case of animation in the end.” So, this is not my cineaste’s list, nor my personal list. It is a list of animated films, chosen at a particular cultural moment. Because one thing that the ‘digital’ in cinema nowadays reveals, and makes undeniable, is animation’s potential – as technique, as form, and as concept – to not merely refine but to explode what ‘cinema’ can be and what it can mean.
