Animation production and consumption has continued to grow as animation itself has become ever more prevalent and visible
in recent years. In parallel, the field of animation studies has expanded excitingly and dramatically, bringing together scholars
from a variety of disciplines. The SAS conference will provide a forum for scholars and practitioners from around the world to come together and give presentations on all aspects of animation history, theory and criticism.
