Film: a series of static images creating the illusion of movement. And what purer form of that definition is there than animation. In many ways, it could be argued that all film is animation. A trompe l'oeil, deceiving the brain into thinking that what the eye sees is a representation of reality. If all that seems a little high-brow, it's because this week we're taking a look at animated movies aimed at adults. And if you're still worried it's a little high brow, fear not, apart from searing socio-political commentary about life in Afghanistan, and a deep examination of existential angst that makes you question if it is ever possible to relate to the world, there's also horny hot dogs, sexy buns and racial stereo-types to beat the band.
