The Animation Department of Taipei National University of the Arts was established in 2011. The department's mission is to cultivate professional animators and artists, promote the development of the local animated film and television industry, and actively collaborate with local and international animation schools in hosting co-op programs to nurture world-class talents with global worldviews. As of today, the department has been running for eleven years and has accumulated an extensive collection of animated films for the annual Kuandu International Animation Festival, which is a window for students to share and display their works. Let us appreciate the voices of the works students are so eager to share with us.

The key visual designs of the TNUA student showcase from the Animation Department student association as follows, which draw inspiration from the main visual concepts of the KDIAF in recent years, are presented from top to bottom: 2023, 2022, and 2020.
