How important is sound in animation?

"Sound effects play an important role in conveying action. Music helps express emotions" - Michael Geisler

Sound effects in animations are important as they give life to the characters in the animations. It makes it easier for the audience to connect emotionally when there is a soundtrack or sound effects throughout.

We listened to a short clip of an animation without actually watching the animation itself to see if we could guess what was happening. As a class we worked out what happened in the animation.

Likewise watching a favourite animation, like the simpsons for example, would be incredibly boring without sound.

Our task today was to create a five minute podcast of our own radio show, using a theme song and creating 'animating discussions' using a programme called Audacity.
I found the programme quite confusing to use at first! It does take time.
Below is our podcast. Not quite five minutes!
