It is interesting to me to look at perspective in Animation, because my interest in design came from that.
When people watch animated films, they tend to be oppressed by the stigma of being childish.
In fairness, plenty are meant for children, and cartoons saturate the animation market with youth-centered animation.
It's because of that focus that some people can be distracted by the monumental achievement and beauty of these films. What animation often lacks in realism in characters faces, is more than made up for by sheer volume of images and painstaking backgrounds.
Hayao Miyazaki comes to mind, an animator, designer, and director of animated movies. In his works some of the most beautifully rendered backgrounds and scenes come to life.
It is a shame that some of the talent involved in Animation is overlooked by the art world, because it is as impressive of a creative endeavor as any other, yet doesn't receive the same praise.
