How 3D Animated Films Integrate Eastern and Western Cultures: a Case Study of “Big Hero 6”

-Abstract
This article takes “The Incredibles”, a typical East-meets-West 3D animated movie, as an example to delve into the collision and hybridization of two different cultures, American and Japanese. Important factors such as visual elements and thematic values may affect the audience’s core feelings and cultural identity, and may make this multicultural movie face challenges in the market. Therefore, this paper further discusses how 3D animated films can better integrate the elements of Eastern and Western cultures.

Introduction
The technological development of three-dimensional animation has become an irreversible trend. When 3D animation technology is integrated into the field of movies, new art forms and different cultural concepts are created. This includes the dissemination and intermingling of different cultures through 3D animated movies as a carrier. However, the mechanisms and effects of 3D animation in cultural intermingling and change are subtly affecting people’s lives. For example, Xue Jiao, and Qi Pan (2012) claimed that the unique characteristics of the movie create an experience beyond our daily experience, which is not only perceivable in real life, but also enhances the power of communication. In this paper, we will use Big Hero 6 as an example to explore how 3D animated movies integrate Eastern and Western cultures. In the process of analyzing existing examples of 3D films, we will delve into the wide range of opportunities and potentials that 3D animated films offer in terms of cultural innovation and creativity.
