History

edit

Animation Magazine was founded in August 1987 by Terry Thoren, inspired by the success of the newspaper Animation News, which had been distributed over the previous six months to help promote Thoren's short-film compilations, Tournees of Animation.[6][7] The print edition is published 10 times a year in the United States.[4] Editorial covers all forms of animation: 2D animation, 3D for animation and visual effects, and stop-motion.[8][9][10] A digital version www.animationmagazine.net was created in 2006. The company also publishes a daily weekday newsletter that covers the world of animation art, business and technology including software reviews.[11][12][13]
