{"product_id":"dreamworks-animation-sam-summers-9783030368531","title":"DreamWorks Animation: Intertextuality and Aesthetics in Shrek and Beyond","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDreamWorks is one of the biggest names in modern computer-animation: a studio whose commercial success and impact on the medium rivals that of Pixar, and yet has received far less critical attention.The book will historicise DreamWorks' contribution to feature animation, while presenting a critical history of the form in the new millennium. It will look beyond the films' visual aesthetics to assess DreamWorks' influence on the narrative and tonal qualities which have come to define contemporary animated features, including their use of comedy, genre, music, stars, and intertextuality. It makes original interventions in the fields of film and animation studies by discussing each of these techniques in a uniquely animated context, with case studies from \u003ci\u003eShrek\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAntz\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKung Fu Panda\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMadagascar\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShark Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBee Movie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTrolls \u003c\/i\u003eand many others. It also looks at the unusual online afterlife of these films, and the ways in which they have been reappropriated and remixed by subversive online communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Summers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303036853X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030368531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.51d","brand":"Sam Summers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944993718527,"sku":"9783030368531","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b0368a67-6b46-48bb-81f5-4f23ec068b0b.jpg?v=1681506167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dreamworks-animation-sam-summers-9783030368531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
