Abstract
This article examines how animated film’s identity was formulated and negotiated during a key period in its consolidation, from 1914 to 1920. Focusing on the Bray Studios, it examines how J. R. Bray envisioned the form of animation and how related ideas of animation were used within animated series produced at his studio, particularly the Bobby Bumps series. Tracing prominent discursive and aesthetic formations of animated film’s place within contexts of other media, its relation to industry and art, and its aesthetics of motion, the article explores how animated film was figured as a new medium.
