2D animation, Singapore media industry, digital content creation, explainer videos, IMDA. 1. Introduction The global animation industry has undergone a seismic shift from hand-drawn cels to fully digital pipelines.

Author: [Your Name/Affiliation] Date: April 14, 2026 Abstract This paper examines the role of 2D animation video within Singapore’s media landscape, tracing its development from traditional cell animation to contemporary digital production. As a small but highly connected nation-state, Singapore has leveraged 2D animation not only for entertainment but also as a strategic tool for corporate communication, education, and public service announcements.
