Four-Mations was a regular animation strand broadcast in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in the 1990s.[1] The series featured short animated films, tributes, and sometimes a documentary on animation.[2] The series was notable for co-financing some films and broadcasting animated films from around the world. The series was first broadcast in 1990 and finished in 1998.[3]
