Edison invented the "motion picture" camera working out of his lab in West Orange, New Jersey, but did not invent motion pictures.
Motion pictures, or moving pictures, had been created using a number of devices. One that I've seen at the Smithsonian institution was a circular device, with pictures glued to cardboard cards attached to the edge of a circular plate. There was a small space (slot) between the photographs. When spinning, you looked through the slots at the adjacent photograph and the strobe effect created the illusion of movement. Flip books are another example of early moving pictures.

How old was Thomas Edison when he invented the movie projector?
Edison did not invent the movie projector. Charles Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat have the patent for the original motion picture projector...The Phantoscope, initially designed by Jenkins alone. The projector was sold to Edison whom re-named it the Vitascope and began using it to show motion pictures in a NYC theater in 1896. For marketing purposes, Edison put his name on it. But, he did not invent the projector. There were various other devises and inventors that made pictures move in a more primitive fashion. Jenkins' Phantoscope, which used flim and electric light, is considered to be the one that ushered in the modern era of motion picture projection, with design and principles still used today.
