Overview

In 1937, Walt Disney introduced the first full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It took 750 artists 3 years to create the blockbuster that didn't just amuse its audience but provoked a range of emotions as well.

Of course, new technologies have changed animation drastically since then. But as a student, you'll find that much remains the same. You’ll do more than learn the latest computer software and master the contemporary techniques of sound design. You'll also develop age-old skills in art and storytelling.
