animation
Animation is the art of breathing apparent life into still images by playing them in rapid succession, a magic trick sold as entertainment. In today’s arena, it competes for the throne of amusement as a spectacle of color and sound. Dreams and terrors trapped in frames voraciously devour viewers’ time, numbing their grip on reality. From children to adults, audience members are glued to screens, measuring value in shallow metrics like "fun," "cute," or "awesome"—perhaps the truest attraction of all.
