This study is to create and develop Korean cartoon & animation through the comparative study on those activities in Korea, America & Japan. Three countries advance highly in the art creation and industry development of their cartoon & animation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the following activities related to the education ${\cdot}$ art ${\cdot}$ culture ${\cdot}$ industry of their cartoon & animation; 1) The education of their cartoon & animation is deeply specified in the establishment of department, composition of curriculum, and research & development. 2) The art of their cartoon & animation is widely diversified in the art creation of cartoon & comics, vanguard experiment of animation, and awarding system. 3) The culture of their cartoon & animation is clearly distinguished in the setup of organizations, expansion of cultural facilities, and festival events. 4) The industry of their cartoon & animation makes ultramodern contents of cartoon & comics, film digitizing of animation, and brand merchandising of characters. Finally, we must research and develop the ${\ll}$digital cartoon, webtoon, and mobile animation${\gg}$ in Korea.

This study is for making new story contents in animation fields through recent theater's animation trends. It is the Anti-Disney which is totally different from the attribute of Disney animation. It has three results as following. The first, Anti-Disneymation reveals the realistic America's problems such as violence, adolescent's loneliness, the slums of black people, etc. Next, animation's main target changed from just for child to for adults using various story themes. Also, the main characters are no longer beautiful and charming one like Disney animation's one and it makes we look at the matter woman another angle and makes totally different story telling. By the results above, we might to making an effort in creating Korean style animation with lyrical expression and cultural assets.

Character plays an important role not merely in animation but also in the modern image industry. From this perspective a new academic approach to and an analysis of character seems of much significance. With this in view this study carried out an elucidation of the basic factors and concept of plasticity for the creation of animation character on the basis of animation structural elements. Furthermore, an inquiry was conducted into fundamental requirements and factors of animation characters, human anatomy serving as the basis of forms for animation character modelling, the characteristics and techniques for creating animation cubic character, and then suggested a method of creation. In this process it was revealed that integral cubic character was applied to diverse animations, that character of high density was prerequisite for the creation of creative and effective animations, and that cubic character plasticity played a catalytic role in activation popular sympathy and the character industry.

Animation has been developed as a part of artistry, and maintained a correlation with other various genres such as art, film and music to bring changes in form and to seek new things. Recently, technological advancement also has supported digitalization of producing process with variety in its method. Basic unit of animation production is a frame. A set of frames which has an image of producer's intention comes to life as animation when constructed, connected and transformed. A producer usually goes through a series of trouble when deciding how to express one's intention in images. Framing in animation is a kind of visual information which reflects producer's visual perception. A producer does not simply characterize matters into geometrical figures or give circumstantial explanation, but does framing work that relies on expression. Artistic psychology based on Gestalt Theory does not concentrate on abstract artistic philosophy with conventional beauty as its center, but pursues ambiguity and coherence of formative arts to support on accepting systematic order. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find theoretical assistance which may be fundamental part in framing of animation. First, ten elements of Rudolf Arnheim centering on Gestalt Theory shall be redefined as concepts. Based on its ground, I will attempt to analyze shape-quality of framing of conventional animation, and make an approach with my personal experimental project. From this research project, I intend to analogize systematic aspect of framing in animation and to make framing of animation possible to assist in actual production of animation.

This study shows that there is an essential difference between colors of animation and live action film through the expressive colors of 2D animation as distinct from three dimension space. While live action film has an obvious object of representation, the image of 2D animation is a creature made by human without the process of mechanical representation. And this is revealed sharply in the expressive colors of 2D animation. Therefore the expressive colors of 2D animation are the important points in which the autonomous meaning of animation image is revealed.
