	Animation

The British animation scene has undergone many changes in recent years, notably in the area of commissions and funding. Despite these changes, film makers continue to produce imaginative and stimulating new work. Recent output from graduates at film schools shows that there's no paucity of talent in the field, while established film makers continue to demonstrate their skill and expertise in an ever-broadening range of areas - shorts, commercials, games. In short, the UK continues to stimulate interest as one of the most diverse and lively places for animation today.
