Read "Coming to Life: Cartoon animals and natural philosophy" by Thomas Lamarre in Pervasive Animation.
Much discussion of 1930s cel animation with focus on early Japanese work (dog soldier "Norakuro Nitohei).
Page 121: local/non-local as character versus character/background.
Page 122, compositing error in bed example (too lazy to create new background?).
126: animation as ambassadors versus as marrying one.
Page 127: life-death-life again and the uncanny.
At one point, he discusses how animals take on human characteristics when animated. Non-animals (plants, beds, etc) which come to life, take on animal characteristics. A vegetable will grow arms and form a face, it will not just be a moving vegetable.
