Jean Ann Wright’s “Animation Writing and Development : From Script Development to Pitch”, is a comprehensive and well written book, on the subject.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in writing for animation.
Rating: 5 / 5
If you want to write a great script, never ever ONCE think of it as anything other than telling a solid story. This book advances the theory that writing for animation is different than writing. It isn’t.
Rating: 1 / 5
An excellent book that covers all aspects of writing for animation, and I do mean ALL aspects. Nothing is left out. Jean Ann Wright really knows her stuff. And buying the book from Amazon was easy and painless. That’s why I use them and why I will continue to use them.

This book is abit of a bore and turnoff with all it tips and trixs to create scripts that will please the “buyer”. It is colored with a tone of a moral panic that is typical for experts that clame to know what people want and don’t want. I think it is safe to say that if the creators of “South Park” or “The Simpson” would have read this book and followed it, thoose series would have never been made – maybe not even Bambi with its horrid shooting of bambis mother?
It also deals with animation at its simplest blocks, it tries to show the steps to a finished product – poorly. It does contain a good hint here and there but as a hole it is a complete waist of time, and a poor candidate for a book to understand the teqnical aspects of animation. If you have some basic knowleadge of character, animation and storyboarding and want to learn how to write for animation, buy books about writing instead.

Anyone interested in writing for animation — or even in writing for television in general — should read this book, written by a veteran of the TV animation trenches. Jean Ann Wright has come up with a highly readable, insightful guide to the process of cartoon writing from formulating ideas to pitching. She even includes exercises at the ends of chapters to stretch one’s creativity. I have already recommended this book to students, and would heartily recommend it to anyone wishing to get into the animation field.
