Abstract

Introduction: Animated cinema not only entertains but also educates and conveys cultural messages. Its ability to visualize abstract concepts makes it a valuable medium in education, enabling the understanding of complex issues and expanding creative and professional opportunities for students. This study analyzes the perceptions and knowledge of students and teachers about the animated medium and higher studies in Arts. Methodology: To achieve this, an initial assessment will be conducted through online surveys of students and teachers from different educational levels in Jaén province, aiming to understand their knowledge and appreciation in the animation film field. Results: The results of the survey reflect a worrying lack of knowledge and support towards artistic studies and careers, especially in the field of animated film, among Secondary Education, Baccalaureate, Vocational Training students and University Education.  Conclusions: The lack of knowledge about animation or other artistic subjects in educational centers may be contributing to the vast majority of students not choosing the Arts as an educational option, due to the mistaken perception that they do not offer viable job opportunities.
