Abstract:

Animal images have always been present in domestic animation and film creation. The portrayal of animal images in creators’ works has evolved into three stable types: realistic, anthropomorphic, and instrumental. These three approaches, whether integrated or independent, collectively reflect the evolving relationship between humans, animals, and technology. However, several issues and ethical controversies persist in current animal portrayals, including narrative and emotional limitations from excessive realism, subject cognition ambiguity and power misidentification from excessive anthropomorphism, and blind technological worship. In response to these pressing concerns, animation creators are seeking balance within post-humanistic frameworks. By respecting animal authenticity and ecological position, practicing cautious technological ethics and sustainable development, and emphasizing care for life and harmonious coexistence, they explore middle-ground approaches to animal representation in animation and film works to support social progress and spiritual vitality.
