Computer animation has positively impacted the movie industry and society. A survey found that 14% of participants prefer animated movies over other genres like action, horror, and comedy. Since computer animation was developed, movies are now mostly computer animated rather than hand drawn. Computer animation has also had a positive impact on society, as 92% of survey respondents agreed. Many modern technologies like TVs, video games, phones, and computers incorporate and rely on computer animation. Without computer animation, there would be no 3D movies, games or graphics, and animation would take much longer and look less realistic.
