The beginnings of animation date back to Paleolithic cave depicts of action. Early devices, such as the Magic Lantern in the mid-seventeenth century was an early demonstration of projected imagery. The first filmed animation occurred in 1900 with a feature called 'Enchanted Drawing.' By 1914, the cell technique was being used in filmed animation. The Fleischer brothers introduced rotoscoping in 1915. The first feature film was made in 1915, and was called 'Creation.' By 1920, the first animated character, Felix the Cat,' was also the first character to be merchandised. In 1923, the father of modern animation, Walt Disney introduced his first project, 'The Alice Comedies,' and by 1928, his ground breaking 'Steamboat Willie' was introduced.

Animation was first attempted with Palaeolithic cave paintings which were 'still' carvings of animals etc. on stone with multiple positions of the animal next to each other. Years later animation was still getting developed until stop motion was invented for example: taking a photo of each movement and playing it fast like it was happening in reality. Then there is CGI animation or also known as Computer-generated imagery; Is made by 3D modeling. Examples are like the movie 'Toy Story'. Now a days there are a few animations called 'Animated Humans'. People have attempted to make animation as realistic as possible; the same movement, emotions movement of hair ect. of Humans. Some of the attempted include 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within' and 'Beowulf'. For more Information check links below
