It is an animation technique that has its own unique aesthetic and encompasses a remarkable history, having played a very important role from the very beginnings of cinematic animation. It has been translated into a number of digital animated series, most notably the \u003ci\u003eSouth Park\u003c\/i\u003e series. This book investigates the history, theory and philosophy of this unique form of animation. Although scholarly in its approach, it is presented in a very accessible form to appeal to everyone who has an interest in animation practice, history and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDan Torre\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University, Australia.
