Abstract

National culture is the soul of Chinese animation. Chinese culture has a long history, which accumulates a wealth of material for the creation of animation scripts, and also provides inexhaustible role images for the shaping of Chinese animated characters. To revitalize the Chinese animation industry, it is necessary to inject the soul of Chinese national culture into Chinese animation, which requires China’s animators to improve their ideological understanding, strengthen the study of national culture, reform the current animation education system properly, have the courage to practice and explore, and then make Chinese animation a distinctive seal.
