Enter The Anime World
Known globally as anime, Japanese animation finds its roots in 1917. Following World War II, an aspiring cartoonist called Osamu Tezuka released his first piece of work: Shintakarajima (known in English as New Treasure Island). Many people found Tezuka’s unique style invigorating. However, it wasn’t until he released Tetsuwan Atomu (Astro Boy) in 1963 that he achieved ‘astronomical’ success. Within a few years, he was dubbed the Father Of Manga And Anime.
Some early anime releases were heavily influenced by Disney. Tezuka grew up watching the company’s films and found his style impacted. This is most evident in his characters, who have childlike features and large eyes. As his works grew and others attempted to imitate, this artistic approach became synonymous with anime.
Glen Keane also credited Hayao Miyazaki as a ‘huge influence’ on Disney's animated films ever since The Rescuers Down Under (1990).
