The Expression of Cross-cultural Values in American Animated Films from the Perspective of Communication

Abstract

Animation refers to the comprehensive visual art with images as the core medium and carrier. The essential attributes determine that its core should originate from the national cultural characteristics of the region. Contemporary American cartoons have a huge influence on global national culture. From the perspective of communication, the aesthetic awareness of visual art and the outward communication of national culture and history have developed into an effective carrier of cross-cultural communication. This article mainly analyses the cultural values of American animated films from many aspects such as American culture and value output through the research and analysis of American cartoons, and discusses the development of cross-regional and cross-cultural communication.
