American vs Japanese

Well, didn't really get much from this lecture, the notes were slacking as there was many videos causing a distraction, but what i did take from the lecture was how Disney differs from animie or manga. The main thing i noticed in Disney was how everything in the whole film centred around its characters, For example like in Bambi, the characters, the forest are all based around the main character. This differs in a Japanese film we were shown called my neighbour toroto. this had a completely different layout compared to the American Disney films with scenery spreading the whole of the scene rather than enclosing the characters. the only link i could make between the two is how they use similar drawing styles in the way that they outline they're work, other than that, there's not an awful lot else to say.
