The film industry is one of the largest consumers of animation and VFX.

Animation studios are increasingly being utilized by major film producers as a tool for storytelling in films. Animation helps in conveying complex ideas through visual metaphors that appeal to children as well as adults. Moreover, it also allows audiences to connect with characters on an emotional level through relatable human emotions such as happiness, sadness or fear (Coyle & Greenbaum). Films such animators have been working hard over the years trying new techniques that push the envelope of traditional animation while still keeping it rooted in reality (Kelley).
