Dr. Maureen Furniss, a historian of animation at the California Institute of the Arts, defines psychedelia as "[m]usic or visual art based on the hallucinatory experiences produced by psychedelic drugs" (446). She employs "psychedelic" as a key term on page 273 in her A New History of Animation textbook to refer to both form (e.g. the colorful and fantastical imagery of Marcell Jankovics's Son of the White Mare) and content (e.g. the visualization of "thoughts and dreams" in Sally Cruikshank's Quasi at the Quackadero).[2]
