Abstract
Animation is a flexible and versatile information dissemination vehicle that covers multiple art forms. A combination of visual, auditory, and narrative strategy elements can arouse emotional fluctuations and sympathetic responses in the audience. Devoting oneself to studying the emotional impact of the interaction between animation art and psychology aims to explore why animation brings its audience more direct and efficient emotional value than other art vehicles. This thesis conducts a comprehensive examination of the emotional output mechanisms of animation. It delves into various aspects such as visual elements, auditory soundscapes, and the emotional resonance of characters, all of which contribute to the overall experience of the viewer. Moreover, it investigates the narrative strategies employed in animation, which include effective narrative techniques, the developmental arcs of characters, and the emotional impacts of the plot. This thesis ultimately contributes valuable insights into how animation serves as a potent medium for emotional engagement and storytelling.
