Animated movies have evolved significantly over time, beginning with Walt Disney's early animated shorts in the 1920s and pioneering feature-length films like Snow White in 1937. The Disney era established animation as a viable art form and commercial medium. Later, Pixar revolutionized animation with the first fully computer-animated feature, Toy Story, in 1995. Today, animation employs a variety of techniques from traditional hand-drawn to 3D computer graphics and stop-motion. The multi-step production process includes storyboarding, modeling, animation, and post-production work to bring animated characters and stories to life for audiences worldwide.
