With development of media and technology animation are seeking a variety of a genre fusion. I would like to propose a new animation screening method using a projection mapping and a popup book. I redesigned the existing method of watching the animation to a new experience by projecting the image on a three-dimensional structure instead a flat screen. This screening method was inspired by preceded works which were made by the fusion of a projection mapping and a popup book. Through analysis of them, I found the merits, shortcomings and clarified the difference of each works. I called this method "Hybrid Animation Theater" because it is fused the various areas - Theater, Projection mapping, Pop-up book, Animation, and Installations, etc. also studied for its architectural features and design. After I designed a prototype to demonstrate the possibilities, the limitations and shortcomings, I could suggest next research directions.
