Hi!
My name is Michiel Schut, a Dutch student, Studying Graphic Design at the University of Lincoln, U.K. I’m writing my essay about the Japanese manga and anime influences on Disney animation.
During my research, I came across this forum and I think many of you know more about this subject. I would like you to fill in this questionnaire, however you don’t have to fill in questions you don’t like or can’t answer. You can reply or send it to: mfschut@hotmail.com
Thanks in advance!

THE INFLUENCE OF JAPANESE MANGA AND ANIME ON DISNEY ANIMATED MOVIES
Name:
What is your relationship with Japanese anime/manga or Disney?
1. Can you recall any Disney animated movies that have a Japanese influence?
2. How can you tell an animated movie has Japanese influence? (In which way is the Japanese style different from the western style?)
3. When did you become aware that Disney animated movies were influenced by Japanese artwork? (And which western movies, producers, artists started this?)
4. What is it in Japanese anime that makes it more attractive than the western drawing style?
5. Can you think of any negative aspects of the influence that Japanese anime has on Disney animated movies?
6. Can you also recall any Japanese anime that has western influences? (in drawing style or any other influence)
7. Can you, based on the latest Disney movies like Lilo and Stitch, starting to speak of western anime?
8. Do you think this influence will change in the next 10 years? (Do you think Disney movies will be more, the same or less influenced by Japanese anime?)
9. Is it hard for western people to understand Japanese anime movies, because of the Japanese metaphors, jokes and mythology used in these?
