Animation For Adults

What is AFA, you might wonder? AFA is a platform dedicated to celebrating the diverse world of animation in all its varieties. We cover everything from major animated features by studios like Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks, to classic stop-motion and hand-drawn styles, along with CGI, anime, and independent animations—we embrace it all. At AFA, we strongly believe that animation is a versatile medium rather than a simple genre. It deserves the same level of appreciation as any other form of art. The talented individuals who invest months, years, or even decades to bring these imaginative works to life deserve recognition for their hard work. Above all, we believe that quality animation can provoke thought as well as provide entertainment, appealing not only to children but to audiences of all ages.
