That in the beginning, animated film was created in most of the world by small studios of artists, while American animation was planned on an industrial scale. Large assembly line studios sponsored by newspaper conglomerates and later Hollywood dream factories who exercised monopolistic control of the film process. <BR/><BR/>That coupled with mainland America's relative isolation from the political turmoil of the mid Twentieth Century and it was easy for the more nativist studios to be swamped by the avalanche of Hollywood product.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199384972101693977noreply@blogger.com
