For the first time ever, Malaysian animation history spanning the last seventy years or so, has been cleverly encapsulated into a book. Given the fact that many studios have gone international, and that Malaysia currently holds the record for having made the most number of animation productions for film and television from among the ASEAN countries, this book is vital piece of reference for animation students, industry practitioners and scholars. From Mouse Deer to Mouse provides a much-needed chronicling of animation history whilst documenting the achievements, trials, tribulation and sacrifices of those involved in the animation industry from 946 to present. The author explains how Malaysian animation has its roots in Asian traditional folklore and performing arts.
