The Visual Legacy of the Middle Ages in Animated Cinema. Medieval art has left a deep imprint on animated cinema. From illuminated manuscripts to Gothic stained glass to narrative tapestries, this artistic period offers a visual universe full of color, symbolism and stylized forms. Many films - both classic and contemporary - use these aesthetics to build unique atmospheres, memorable characters and worlds with ancient magic. In this article we explore how different animated works have integrated medieval elements into their visual storytelling and why this language remains so powerful in animation today. What characterizes medieval art and why it works so well in animation. Medieval art is distinguished by: - Flat, saturated colors that reinforce emotion and clarity. - Absence of classical perspective, generating symbolic compositions. - Stylized and hierarchical figures where form communicates importance. - Decorative and narrative approach with patterns, borders and sequential scenes. In animation these resources work because they create coherent worlds, convey symbolic strength and provide a timeless aesthetic that blends history and fantasy.
