Anime films originated in Japan between 1907-1911. They were popularized by Osamu Tezuka in the 1920s-1930s, who is known as the "Godfather of Anime". Typical anime films feature action, sci-fi or fantasy plots set in cities like Tokyo. The protagonists are usually between 10-30 years old and encounter difficult situations which they overcome with determination. Anime films are characterized by hand-drawn or computer animation, vibrant graphics, and energetic characters.
