Japanese fair exposing world to anime

TOKYO, March 30 (UPI) -- The annual Tokyo International Anime Fair is helping expose the rest of the world to the beauty and creativity behind the animation style, experts say.

Benjamin Colling, director of admissions at Vancouver Film School, says the annual festival helps the stylized cinematic animation find a broader audience. Based on the 79 foreign companies at this year's event, the Canadian official may be right, The Japan Times reported Sunday.

"I think most importantly, it allows foreign companies to understand the culture of animation in Japan," Colling said.

"Of course, there are other talented countries, like France, but the style and creativity that comes out of Japan is so unique that it's important for foreign companies to understand its benefit."
Did I miss the boat on this or am I correct in seeing this as second-grade art?...

I tried watching a few anime movies. One had a good story line, but I kept thinking what a great movie this could be if it weren't so cartoonish!
