Source Entry #2 . Research Question: How did evolution of animation in movie industry evolved throughout the years? Article I chose for Source Entry #2 “The Promotion of American Culture through Hollywood Movies to the World” published by Wanwarang Maisuwong,Thammasat University.
Even though my research question is about how animation evolved throughout the years. And animation is main part of my project, animation is important because it makes us be able to tell stories and communicate emotions and ideas in a unique, easy to perceive way that both small children and adults can understand. Animation has helped connect people throughout the world in a way that sometimes writing and live action films cannot. But I also wanted to add and talk about cultural aspect in movie industry, because we all know that cultural part plays a huge role even in the movie industry and its evolution.
Article “The Promotion of American Culture through Hollywood Movies to the World” stated a deeper information on the topic of how audience and cultural / American part played a big role in movie production and reversed.

Hollywood movie can influence the people around the world, and it gives several impacts both positively and as well as negatively. It effects every aspect such as politics, economics, army or even entertainment. Hollywood has always been considered fashion leader, where the actors and actresses in the movies portray fashionable hairstyle, cloth, make up, and etc. Otherwise, Hollywood movies always contain the rude words or aggressive behavior of Americans which resulted to the audience to imitate and adopt those things to their daily life. Hollywood is the succeed story of America which it works as an instrument to affect the ideology, and culture of the world populations. Also, in all of that story animation plays a big role as well, it’s been and will be watched by different age groups. The kids and adults idealize their favorite animated characters and their behavior, they basically cosplay/trying to copy to the “closest perfect” their looks, their language etc.
