Entertainment,Publicity and Education:Research on the Social Function of Early Animation(1923-1949)

在百年前漫天烽火、兵戈扰攘之时,中国早期动画耕耘者们在极其困难的环境中坚持制作拍摄动画片40余部,创作了第一部广告动画《暂停》、第一部立体卡通《上前线》、第一部长篇动画《铁扇公主》、第一部木偶定格动画《皇帝梦》等具有里程碑意义的传世力作。作为电影艺术中最特殊的一个分支,中国动画自诞生起就与中国现当代社会的历史发展结下了不解之缘,肩负着娱乐大众、宣传抗战、寓教于乐的历史使命与社会功能。

Amidst the raging flames of war and chaos before a hundred years,,early Chinese animation cultivators persisted in producing and filming over 40 animated films in extremely difficult environments,creating landmark works such as the first advertising animation Pause,the first three-dimensional cartoon On the Front Line,the first full-length animation Princess Iron Fan,and the first puppet freeze frame animation Emperor's Dream.As the most unique branch of film art,Chinese animation has been closely related to the historical development of modern and contemporary Chinese society since its inception.It has shouldered the historical mission and social function of entertaining the public,promoting the Anti Japanese War,and combining education with entertainment.
