Also in MCA Hogarth’s Livejournal entry is a commenter who brings up the neotony as a possible cause for the appearance of anime-style animation.

Direct offshoots form the Neotony article that I haven’t had a chance to get into yet:

It’s been a while since I’ve really posted much of anything, but today’s trail of breadcrumbs has lead me through a number of interesting Wikipedia articles that I’d like to keep track of for more in-depth reading (and more breadcrumbing :) ) later.

Today’s trail started at MCA Hogarth’s LiveJournal entry here, wherein she mentions the term “uncanny valley.” And from there to Wikipedia.

Direct offshoots from the Uncanny Valley article that I haven’t had a chance to get into yet:
The Uncanny
The Polar Express
Humanoid Robot
