The document discusses the concept of "animatedness" and how it relates to early film animation techniques and racialized depictions of emotion. It analyzes how a stop-motion film from the 1890s depicted an inanimate lump of clay gradually taking the shape of human figures.

The document then discusses how the concept of being "animated" came to imply a racialized portrayal of excessive emotion subject to external control.
