2. The first sign of animation dates back to
paleolithic times discovered by a Greek
astronomer called Ptolemy in 130AD. The first
drawings were found as cave men drawings on
the walls which showed different positions of
the animals. So they were trying to recreate the
motion of the animal.

3. Then a Chinese man made an animation device
which was called a zoetrope. There was also
other devices which were called
Phenakistoscope, praxinoscope and the flip book
and all made in the 1800s. The flip book is made
up of sequential drawings, this means that when
you flip it, it makes an animation.
The first animated short film was made by
someone called J. Stuart Blackton it was called
“humorous phases of funny faces”.

4. In 1910 a woman called Emilie Cohl was the first
person to make an animation out of paper cut
outs. In 1913 the development of celluloid made
it easier to make animations.
Walt Disney's first animation was Steamboat
Willie which was the first animation ever to have
sound. Then they went on to make a full length
film called snow white.
