Reviews

Animating the Spirited directs readers in a series of intriguing directions with its focus on journeys and transformations that happen both within existing animation or that may be brought about by making and watching animated art works. The collection's greatest strength resides not in where it ends but in where it may lead the reader, with the entries serving as instigations for further work and prompts for viewing fantasy and animation as psychological vehicles that can explore and change the human mind.--Steven Gil Fantasy/Animation Animating the Spirited is a timely and significant contribution to current animation studies that seldom address the spiritual, mental, psychological, therapeutic, philosophical, and religious issues. It ensouls and enlivens the field by interiorizing the animated world and beyond. This is an important reference book for scholars and general readers who are curious about the inner world of animation.--Daisy Yan Du, author of Animated Encounters: Transnational Movements of Chinese Animation, 1940s-1970s This excellent book of collected essays approaches 'the spirited' from various kinds of interests--aesthetic, religious, cultural, technological, and philosophical. The contributors are scholars, researchers, educators, artists, and animators from different countries and with different cultures. This interdisciplinary approach makes a much-needed contribution to animation studies.--Masatomo Toyohara, professor emeritus, Osaka University of Arts, and former president of the Japan Society of Image Arts and Sciences
