A zoetrope is an early animation device that creates the illusion of motion through a series of pictures viewed through slits in a spinning drum. It was originally invented in China around 100 BC and improved in the 19th century with the addition of a rotating drum. When viewed through the slits in the drum, the sequential pictures in the zoetrope give the appearance of a continuous animated sequence of motion.
