Reviews

""Scholarship on animation has drifted towards the practices of Hollywood and the United States. Informative and accessible, Animation in Mexico offers fresh, intriguing perspectives on practices that have long gone unnoticed."" — Jacqueline Avila, author of Cinesonidos: Film Music and National Identity During Mexico's Época de Oro ""A significant intervention. Dalton's introduction provides a clear, succinct overview of the history of Mexican animation and extends it into the twenty-first century, while the volume as a whole makes a compelling case for further study in the area."" — Brian L. Price, coeditor of The Lost Cinema of Mexico: From Lucha Libre to Cine Familiar and Other Churros
