[Frameworks] books on animation theory?

[Eric Theise]

Francisco, Ceciia, others,

I decided to trace my steps back to what led to my interest in the late
Hannah Frank's "Frame by Frame: A Materialist Aesthetics of Animated
Cartoons". It was J. Hoberman's review in Artforum, Sept 2019, which I read
in print and to which I don't have access online though it's here if you do:

Turns out her book's available for free in several download formats.

I am going to try and read through it in the next couple of weeks so if
anyone's interested in discussing it, please be in touch.

Eric
