Animation Compendia commemorates the production, publicity and legacy of American theatrical animated feature films.
Originally created in 2014 as the Disney Animation Resource Channel, our goal was to highlight video content from our collection and from other users. While our past channel focused mainly on films from Disney and Pixar, this channel will continue to recognize those films along with films from other American animation studios that played a role in inspiring today's generation of artists and storytellers.
In 2021, we joined the growing movement to collect and preserve 35mm trailers of animated films. These reels, previously shown in movie theaters, are starting to deteriorate as they age. With the help of professional film scanning services, we have shared these trailers on our channel so they can be enjoyed again for future generations.
