A revised version of Disney's classic film of the early 1940's, which includes seven new sequences, interspersed with live-action introductions.
In spite of censorship, oppression and war, animation studios have thrived in recent years--in Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Turkey--giving rise to a whole new generation of entrepreneurs and artists. The success of animation in the Middle East is, in part, a product of a changing cultural climate, which increasingly calls for art that reflects politics. Drawing together the diverse strands of local productions, regional co-productions, the influence of digital developments and television, and cinematic feature films, Animation in the Middle East reveals how animation is part of the broader cinema culture of a large, heterogeneous area.
