What year was the first cartoon ever made and what was it?

Answer 1

"The 1st cartoon was "Steamboat Willy", a Mickey Mouse cartoon by Walt Disney, in black and white. It was made in 1928. Try searching `Steamboat Willy'."

Techincally not true. Cartoon is derived from the heavy pasteboard used in the production of frescoes. So in that sense, the middle ages was the first.

The first cartoon as we understand it today was a single frame block, containing a person with a speech balloon shaped like a scroll. It is found in a middle ages Bible.

First 'comic' on paper: 1842- Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck, German man named Rondolphe Toepffer, considered the grandfather of modern animation.

First comic strip: same guy

First comic book: 1922 Famous Funnies (incidentally, Superman was released as Action Comics in 1938)

First animation as we understand it today: Felix the cat, 1919

First Anime movie: 1917 (with sound? 1933, called a 'talkie')

First modern animation (no sound): The adventures of Prince Achmed by German animator Lotte Reininger, it was based on the Arabian Nights stories

First animation credited with having sound track: 1924 Koko Song Car-Tunes by the Fleisher bros.

THEN 1928, Steamboat Willy (Disney and Iwerks added sounded to earlier Mickey movies, but not until well after their release)
