Filipino cartoon and animation, also known as Pinoy animation or Philippine animation, is a body of original cultural and artistic works and styles applied to conventional Filipino storytelling, combined with talent and the appropriate application of classic animation principles, methods, and techniques, which recognizes their relationship with Filipino culture, comics, and films. It also delves into relying on traditional and common Filipino "sense of going about things" or manner of coping with Filipino life and environment.[1]
Filipino animation is largely part of the Philippine New Wave, a filmmaking term that resurges experimental films in the 21st century.
