编者按:在撰写本刊2013年第8期《成年人与动画》专题文章的过程中,与学者David G.Erchlich先生进行了关于动画本体的讨论,其中剥离出来了一个观点是,在绝大多数动画作品,尤其是能通过媒体传播的动画作品基本都是由18岁以上的成年人制作完成的情况下,世界上究竟是否有所谓纯粹的“儿童”动画?而从“儿童动画”本身而言,什么样的动画作品又能被称为真正的“儿童动画”呢? Editor’s Note: During the writing of the article “Adult and Animated Feature Articles”, Issue 8, 2013, we discussed the ontology with David G. Erchlich, a scholar of the animation. Most animation works, especially those that can be spread through the media, are basically made by adults over 18 years old. Is there any purely “children’s” animation in the world? From the “children’s animation ”In itself, what kind of animated works can be called real“ children’s animation ”?
