Discover animation like never before. Suspend belief and let the magic of animation reveal imaginary worlds and experimental imagery.

Visitors will have the rare opportunity to see an incredible array of animation techniques in over 100 animated film segments from across generations and cultures. The exhibition includes animation’s great inventors, innovators, and artists, from Georges Méliès and Chuck Jones to William Kentridge and Tim Burton, as well as animation studios such as Walt Disney, Aardman, Studio Ghibli, and Pixar. This immersive exhibition invites visitors to discover animation—from the familiar to the eccentric—through large-scale projections and intimate viewing spaces. The experience extends into the Detroit Film Theatre which will be showing a selection of feature-length animation, festival compilations and personal appearances by contemporary animators over the course of the exhibition.
