The Internet Animation Database


The Internet Animation Database provides an alternative to IMDB that involves only animated films/shows/shorts to make it easier to find accurate information for any of the above. It is still smaller than the site in was inspired by, but serves its function well.



You can search by character, year, studios, artists, title etc which makes it very convenient for finding what you are looking for, or even for discovering new animations.


The pages themselves are very plain, but provide the information needed, along with comments and reviews. It isn't the most indepth of websites, but it works if you just want to find new things or look up very specific animations. If it becomes larger and more popular in the future then it could be a very useful site, especially if it starts to over on from older 'classic' animations and into newer ones, especially ones that may not be published and are contributions from viewers (in a different way than Youtube and Newgrounds - although what would be the grounds on which an animation would be accepted? Length, method, style, audience?)

This is a site I will use for research in the future, even if it helps me to find animations more than actual facts about them.
