Abstract:
"This thesis will explain the advantages of utilizing non-linear storytelling in animation and how it can be used to inspire critical analysis for the audience. Non-linear storylines are those which do not have the traditional beginning-middle-end structure. They can take those points and present them in any order, omit one entirely, or not utilize any at all. The purpose of using non-linear narratives is to present stories in nonconventional ways without so much of a focus of telling one specific story, but rather the journey of how the audience responds to what is presented to them and how everything fits together. Through this, non-linear narratives can enforce a higher level of critical thinking that cannot be achieved from typical, linear films." --Abstract
