Animation Greats Of The World

There are innumerable great artists who have created animation magic through the years. Disney may be the only household name in India when it comes to animation, but we must honour the thousands of others who pushed the envelope and took the art form to newer and far greater heights.

Here you will find a list of names from all over the world, artists from varying backgrounds, all working towards the same goal - to create animated masterpieces. Over time we shall provide detailed information on each and every one of them. As of now, do take some time to search the net or scout your local library or bookstore for books on the life and art of these inspirational masters. You will find something to learn from each one of them. If you notice that we have missed out any name, do write to us and we wil append the list right away.
