The History of Animation
In the 1880s, Eadweard Muybridge invented the zoopraxiscope. This machine took photographs of moving
things. This was the earliest form of animation.
In the 1895, the Lumière brothers invented the cinematograph. Early film-makers used it to make stop-motion
animation. With this technique, they made Kingkong in 1933.
In the 1920s, Walt Disney began to use ‘hand-drawn animation’. Artists drew the pictures onto transparent
pieces of plastic, or cels. The film makers put the cels on painted backgrounds and photographed them one at a
time. In 1928, Disney studios introduced the character of Mickey Mouse in the first cartoon with sound,
Steamboat Willie.
In the 1960s, people started using computer animation. At first, computers could only make simple stick figures
move on films, but by the 1990s, studios used realistic computer-generated imagery (CGI) for special effects.
Soon, they were producing completely computer-animated films; Toy Story (1995) was the first fully CGI
cartoon.
