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.

Animation brings to mind more lighthearted times, reminding us of fun and youth. It transfers us to worlds where anything seems possible. Animation helps make the intangible more tangible.
