Originally made for children, animated films have achieved global recognition whether Disney (consensual), Tex Avery (the wolf) or Paul Grimault (poetic). Animation from Japan ("Japanim") with its round-eyed characters and frozen movements was first viewed as a subculture reserved for the likes of illiterate teens. The West has since discovered the cultural wealth of Mangas and video games. And Miyazaki. All this in thirty years. Not bad!
