Abstract

Animation has become one of the most beloved and expected film genres by audiences of all ages who watch, on the big screen, the result of the work of thousands of hours that hundreds of artists have had to create stories and worlds that come to create a strong connection with whoever gets in front of the screen. Over a hundred years ago the animation came and it came to stay, but it was in 1986, when Pixar was born, that the animation had an important innovation and evolution. Technology and art came together to give life to two-dimensional drawings and turn them into three-dimensional worlds. This art form is starting to grow in Latin America and may have a promising future.
