In traditional animation Cartoon Animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to Cartoon Animation photographed and exhibited on film. Today, most animations are made with computer-generated imagery CGI. Computer animation can be very detailed 3D animationwhile 2D computer animation can be used for stylistic reasons, low bandwidth or faster real-time renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop motion technique to two and three-dimensional objects like paper cutoutspuppets or clay figures. Commonly the effect of animation is achieved by a rapid succession of sequential images that minimally Cartoon Animation from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon and beta movementbut the exact causes are still uncertain. Television and video are popular electronic animation media that originally were analog and now operate digitally. For display on the computer, techniques like animated GIF and Flash animation were developed. Animation is more pervasive than many people realize. Apart from short filmsfeature Cartoon Animationtelevision series, animated GIFs and other media dedicated to the display of moving images, animation is also prevalent in video gamesmotion graphicsuser interfaces and visual effects. The physical movement of image parts through simple mechanics—in for instance moving images in magic lantern shows—can also be considered animation. The mechanical manipulation of three-dimensional puppets and objects to emulate living beings has a very long history in automata. Electronic automata were popularized by Disney as animatronics. Animators are artists who specialize in creating animation. Hundreds of years before the introduction of true animation, people from all over the world enjoyed shows with moving figures that were created and manipulated manually in puppetryautomatashadow play and the magic lantern. The multi-media phantasmagoria shows that were very popular in West-European theatres from the late 18th century through the first half of the 19th century, featured lifelike projections of moving ghosts and other frightful imagery in motion. Series of sequential images had occasionally been made over thousands of years, but the stroboscopic disc provided the first method to represent such images in fluent motion and for the first time had artists creating series with a proper systematic breakdown of movements. The stroboscopic animation principle was also applied in the zoetropethe flip book and the praxinoscope The average Cartoon Animation animation contained about 12 images that were displayed as a continuous loop by spinning a device manually. The flip book often contained more Cartoon Animation and had a beginning and end, but its animation would not last longer than a few seconds. When cinematography eventually broke through in after animated pictures had been known for decades, the wonder of the realistic details in the new medium was seen as its biggest accomplishment. Animation on film was not commercialized until a few years later by manufacturers of optical toys, with chromolithography film loops often traced from live-action footage for adapted toy magic lanterns intended for kids to use at home. It Cartoon Animation take some more years before animation Cartoon Animation movie theatres. After earlier experiments by movie pioneers J. Porter among othersBlackton's The Haunted Hotel was the first huge stop motion success, baffling audiences by Cartoon Animation objects that apparently moved by themselves in full photographic detail, without signs of any known stage trick. Other great artistic and very influential short Cartoon Animation were created by Ladislas Starevich Cartoon Animation his puppet animations since and by Winsor McCay with detailed drawn animation in films such as Little Nemo and Gertie the Dinosaur During the s, the production of animated " cartoons " became an industry in the US. InSteamboat Williefeaturing Mickey Mouse and Cartoon Animation Mousepopularized film with synchronized sound and put Walt Disney 's studio at the forefront of the animation industry. InDisney also introduced the innovation of full colour in Flowers and Trees Cartoon Animation part of a three-year-long exclusive deal with Technicolor. The enormous success of Mickey Mouse is seen as the start of the golden age of American animation that would last until Cartoon Animation s. The United States dominated the world market of animation with a plethora of cel-animated Cartoon Animation shorts. Several studios would introduce characters that would become very popular Cartoon Animation would Cartoon Animation long-lasting careers, including Walt Disney Productions ' Goofy and Donald DuckWarner Bros. It was followed by Cristiani's Sin dejar rastros inbut one day after its premiere the film was confiscated by the government. After working on it for three years, Lotte Reiniger released the German feature-length silhouette animation Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed inthe oldest extant animated feature. InWalt Disney Studios premiered their first animated feature, Snow White and the Cartoon Animation Dwarfsstill one of Cartoon Animation highest-grossing traditional animation features as of May [update]. Partly due to foreign markets being cut off Cartoon Animation the Second World War, Disney's next features PinocchioFantasia both and Fleischer Studios' second animated feature Mr. For decades afterwards Disney would be the only American studio to regularly produce animated features, until Ralph Bakshi became the first to also release more than a handful features. Sullivan-Bluth Studios began to regularly produce animated features starting with An American Tail in Cartoon Animation Although relatively few titles became as successful as Disney's features, other countries developed their own animation industries that produced both short and feature theatrical animations in a wide variety of styles, relatively often including stop motion and cutout animation techniques. Russia's Soyuzmultfilm animation studio, Cartoon Animation inproduced 20 films including shorts per year on average and reached 1, titles Cartoon Animation Animation became very popular on television since the s, when television sets started to become common in most developed countries. Cartoons were mainly programmed for children, on convenient time slots, and especially US youth spent many hours watching Saturday-morning cartoons. Many classic cartoons found a new life on the small screen and by the end of the s, production of new animated cartoons started to shift from theatrical releases to TV series. Hanna-Barbera Productions was especially prolific and had huge hit series, such as The Flintstones — the first prime time animated seriesScooby- Doo since and Belgian co-production The Smurfs — The constraints of American television programming and the demand for an Cartoon Animation quantity resulted in cheaper and quicker limited animation methods and much more formulaic scripts. Quality dwindled until more daring animation surfaced in the late s and in the early s with hit series such as The Simpsons since as part of a "renaissance" of American animation. While US animated series also spawned successes internationally, many other countries produced their own child-oriented programming, relatively often preferring stop motion and puppetry over cel animation. Once Upon a Time Computer animation was gradually developed since the s. The Rescuers Down Under was the first feature film to be completely created digitally without a camera. The so-called 3D style, more often associated with computer animation, has become extremely popular since Pixar's Toy Storythe first computer- animated feature in this style. Most of the cel animation studios switched to producing mostly computer animated films around the s, as it proved cheaper and more profitable. Not only the very popular 3D animation style was generated with computers, but also most of the films and series with a more traditional hand-crafted appearance, in which the charming characteristics of cel animation could be emulated with software, while new digital tools helped developing new styles and effects. The clarity of animation makes it a powerful tool for instruction, while its total malleability also allows exaggeration that can be employed to convey strong emotions and to thwart reality. It has therefore been widely used Cartoon Animation other purposes than mere entertainment. Cartoon Animation World War II, animation was widely exploited Cartoon Animation propaganda. Many American studiosincluding Warner Bros. Some countries, including China, Japan and the United Kingdom, produced their first feature-length animation for their war efforts. Animation has been very popular in television commercials, both due to its graphic appeal, and the humour it can provide. Some animated characters in commercials have survived for decades, such as Snap, Crackle and Pop in advertisements for Kellogg's cereals. Apart from their success in movie theaters and television series, many cartoon characters would also prove extremely lucrative when licensed for all kinds of merchandise and for other media.
