I once guest-lectured in Steve Kurtz's Intro to Film class at Carnegie-Mellon University. I made a video of the 1st minute of movies I selected as of maximal significance & quality (NO D. W. Griffith! or Leni Riefenstahl!) for every 5 yrs since the cinema began (& a little before). I screened this for what was apparently a classroom full of statues. I say statues b/c when it came time for Q&A I cdn't tell whether the students were breathing or not. They certainly weren't asking questions. I reckon I must've been a lousy teacher - giving them too much at once or sumpin'. Anyway, the students didn't ask me anything but Steve asked me why there was so much animation. READ "EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATION" & you'll undertsand why my own personal history emphasizes animation so much in general - thru animation, some of the most clever, vivid, imaginative work of all time has been made (yes - even in the eons before I was born - wch, of course, I have vivid 'racial memories' of - even from before I was even a single-cell organism)!!
