of watercolor paintings). While American animators concentrated on creating new
technologies, Japanese put their energy into developing new techniques. Peter
Chung pretty much defines the difference between mainstream American and
Japanese animation styles when he said, “Traditional Western art is interested
in creating an illusion of nature, whereas traditional Eastern painting is more
about the gesture of the painter.”
