{"product_id":"the-live-action-animated-film-kyle-meikle-9781978828612","title":"The Live-Action Animated Film","description":"Since cinema's beginning, live actors and cartoon characters have traded places and invaded each other's spaces, with real people getting animated and animated character getting real. \u003ci\u003eThe Live-Action Animated Film\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the long history of movies that combine live action with 2D, stop-motion, and 3D animation to hallucinogenic effect. This survey suggests that the experimental and idiosyncratic mixed pics of the twentieth century set the template for the mainstream blockbusters of the twenty-first. Covering everything from Technicolor musicals and creature features to contemporary remakes and reboots, \u003ci\u003eThe Live-Action Animated Film\u003c\/i\u003e brings this significant, boundary-blurring genre into sharper focus. In retrospect, the introduction of cartoons into live action looks as central to film history as the coming of sound or color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Meikle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978828616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978828612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Kyle Meikle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087722103039,"sku":"9781978828612","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a8aca20-a628-458b-a2e0-7b116e6f7b0f.jpg?v=1753850604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-live-action-animated-film-kyle-meikle-9781978828612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
