History of early animation and animations 1900 - 1930

There are lots of different types of early animations they were all very popular and are really amazing for its time some even go back as further as 180AD but I guess each country and over the years had their own animation which then made it world wide.

These  animation are so popular that are still around now and for example Disney's company still stands till now but with modern content however Disney is my favourite because I grew up watching Disney and I still watch the shows that are on that channel.

However there are so many types of animation such as Zoetrope, flip book  American animation  British animation, Chinese animation and japanese anime so there are types and the first animation ever made were as old as ancient Egyptian times more that 4000 years old some ever further as further as 5200.

Winsor McCay 1867–1871 was an American cartoon artist and animator he is best known for making the comic strip Little Nemo which was still around from early 1900s till about 1930s. For some reason he worked under the name Silas on his comic strip.

Little Nemo is Winsor it was a comic strip and he succeeded in the time that he was still around and later changed the name of the strip from Little Nemo to In the land of wonderful dreams which caught the attention of many people kids loved it.

 He was a great cartoonist in my opinion but I don't think I've watched any of his stuff when I was little it's the first I've heard of him.

Lotte Reiniger 1899 - 1981 was a German film director known for making silhouette animation and she was anticipating with Walt Disney for over 10 years. She has made over 40 films over the span of her career and all she was using was her invention. 

She was also known for making the adventures of Prince Achmed 1926 and The Magic Flute featuring music by Mozart.

What she does is amazing I think I will watch some of her stuff on my spare time I seriously like the whole thing and I'm going to make one for myself because it looks fun to make.

Walt Disney and out of all the ones I've talked about he is the biggest and the most popular,

he was an animator, cartoonist, producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor and he did a lot more than the jobs I just listed.

He was huge even when he just started back then and his company is still huge he is known around the world and classed as a cultural icon because of his success worldwide.

 Walt Disney is one of the major motion picture company int he entire world last year Walt Disney had annual revenue of 45billion!!!

As an animator and an entrepreneur, He was known as a film producer he and the people he worked with created one of the world most iconic fictional characters that are still around today such as Mickey Mouse. He has also won more than 20 academy awards from a total of 59 nomination, including four in one year.

Georges Méliès was a french illusionist and film maker he is famous for leading many technical development in the earliest days of cinemas. He was really good at making special effects the first to do time lapse photography, hand painted color, multiple exposures, dissolves in his films.

People even referred to him as a Cine magician because of his ability to manipulate and  transform through cinematography. His best works are A trip to the moon and The impossible voyage.

I was surprised when I read about him because of how he was at editing especially for it's time they had no software to be honest I didn't think anyone can edit until our time but this guy did.

Some of his work is really funny.

Humorous Phases of Funny Faces is a 1906 short silent animated cartoon directed by James Stuart Blackton and was generally regarded by film historians as the first animated film recorded on standard picture film.
