Cartoons and trick films by pioneers such as Georges Méliès were influential for Salvador Dalí and André Breton, among others; many other surrealists and their associates such as Max Ernst, Joseph Cornell, Hans Richter, Len Lye, Roland Topor, Jan Švankmajer, and Lawrence Jordan turned to animated cinema and theories of animacy to express their surrealist visions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurrealism and Animation\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book devoted to surrealism's vivid engagement with the history, theory, and medium of animation on a transnational basis.
