Abstract

Fashion is one of the visual artistic languages that depict time and place and express the civilizations of peoples, and reflect the cultural identity of societies, and it is important because it has an effective role in convincing the viewer of what is happening in the events that are used in the same characters of animation films that tell stories that are predominantly human, and many of them are Inspired by events or people from reality, therefore, the costume designer of the characters of animation films is keen to take into account the cultural sources of the various societies, which determine the history and beginnings of any people, are formed and differ according to the atmosphere of their climatic environment, and are affected by the customs, beliefs, rituals and customs of the people on which they were brought up. It is important to be careful, along with an artistic vision, in designing the costumes for distortion films, with their implications for the cultures of different societies, especially since many of the misrepresented films have influenced the fashion presented by them on young and old audiences, and then they are inspired by and influenced by cultural and social identities and influence fashion lines and fashion design in general.
