Originally an animation print magazine, Frames Per Second Magazine was first published in 1991, with news, features and commentary on all aspects of animation--conception, creation, voice-acting, screenings--from all over the world. Frames Per Second Magazine continues the tradition of articulate and insightful analyses of animation in all its forms. The site is composed of news, features, commentary, festival overviews, reviews, a treasure trove of links, a list of animation releases and books of interest, and the fps Store, which lists Frames Per Second Magazine's affiliates (all proceeds of the store currently defray costs of operation for the web site).

Founding editor of Frames Per Second Magazine, Emru Townsend, lives in Montreal and writes about animation, live-action films, technology, music, comics and books for such diverse publications and web sites as PC World, The Hub: Digital Living, January Magazine, The All-Movie Guide, and his own web site, The Critical Eye (including articles and interviews from Frames Per Second Magazine's previous print incarnation, and items before the creation of fpsmagazine.com). Townsend wants people to know that "fps looks at all aspects of animation critically, without being stuffy."
