Abstract

This paper explores the integration of traditional Chinese ink art and modern animation technology through an analysis of the animated film Little Tadpoles Looking for Mama. As one of the earliest examples of Chinese ink animation, the film represents a unique blend of artistic tradition and innovative technology. The study examines how the film employs traditional water-based ink techniques, such as brush strokes, shading, and Chinese painting aesthetics, while also incorporating the dynamic visual effects and movement possibilities offered by contemporary animation technology. By using the theoretical framework of visual aesthetics and animation techniques, this paper analyzes the interaction between the two artistic forms, revealing how they enhance the overall narrative and artistic expression of the animation.
