This was really informative. Taking a look back at such a diverse history of animation in a mere 10 minutes was a real pleasure. Thanks for making this.

Between 1872 and 1928 there is lots to talk about: Émile Cohl’s “Fantasmagorie, ” from 1908, (one of the first hand-drawn animated films to grace purpose built cinemas). Early animators such as Windsor McCay and Max Fleisher, who’s mix of live action and animation with Gertie the Dinosaur and Out of the Inkwell were wildly popular. Lotte Reiniger who produced The Adventures of Prince Achmed; the first feature length animated film, in 1926 definitely deserves a mention.

When I was kid, I like to watch cartoons. And now as adult, I like to watch how animations was made.

god ghibli has too much power, i actually suddenly teared up with the swelling music and visuals during their clip.

The jump from 1872 to Steamboat Willie skipped over *a lot.*

An absolute lifesaver for someone also looking at this subject at school. Thanks man

I'm afraid this is a little *too* brief, skipping over significant phases and not actually sticking to a chronological order. There was a lot of early animation on film before Steamboat Willie in 1928, for example. The very popular Felix the Cat cartoons that ran throughout the 20s, or the even earlier animation experiments by Windsor McCay and other pioneering animators. Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in 1937, and set the style and tone of their later animated movies of the '40s, '50s, and '60s.

Scooby Doo may have well been a good representative of the Hannah Barbara limited animation style, but it came out in 1969-1970, after several other Hannah Barbara features, like The Flinststones, The Jetsons, Top Cat, and Johnny Quest. The Flintstones started in 1960, but it was distinctive not so much for its animation as the fact that it was a prime time television show, as opposed to being shown at the movies or on Saturday mornings. Hanna Barbara's Huckleberry Hound Show started two years earlier in 1958.

And what about the Fleischer studio's use of rotoscoping in the Superman cartoons in the early 40s? Or in Ralph Bakshi's animated movies in the 70s? Or if you're going to talk about stop motion animation, then why no mention of Gumby and Pokey, Art Clokey's "Claymation" style, which first appeared in 1953? And then you want to talk about animation in videos without mentioning Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer video or A-Ha's Take On Me video, or countless others that preceded your examples?

So, like I said, too brief, and you skipped over some pretty major developments in animation.

Steamboat Willie was not photographed on the multiplane camera. Snow White was the first film to use it, and it's about giving depth to the backgrounds by animating different layers at different speeds, for example forground tracks faster than background. If you're teaching about animation this is basic stuff Will.

1872 jumping to 1928, the first animation with synchronised sound? That was a huge leap 😞

Christian-moviesCoUk

So no mentions of Fleicher Studios, the Animation company that Walt stole cell shading techniques from?
Correction: Rotoscoping.

I am going to do a video essay or like a presentation about animation and I found that this video has the same purpose!
Thanks for the information very much dude!! It is very clear and I have a better clue about my assignment now.

These animators are geniuses. There are others like J Stuart Blackton & later on Lottie Reiniger that I've only just found out about besides all these listed on this video, & probably many more too. But they're all so gifted & imagine if they could see what an inspiration they are today. 👏🌝
