    The document traces the history of animation from its earliest forms in the 17th century using devices like the magic lantern to project moving images, to later innovations like the zoetrope in the 1830s which used a spinning drum to make drawings appear in motion, to the flip-book in 1868 which inspired many early animators and helped spread the art form to a wider audience. Key early machines that helped develop animated cartoons included the praxinoscope in 1877 which expanded on the zoetrope design.

    History of Animation

    1603- MAGIC LANTERN


    The Magic Lantern is an image projector using pictures on sheets of glass. Since some sheets contain moving
    parts, it is considered the first example of projected animation.
    1824- THAUMATROPE
    The thaumatrope housed a rotating mechanism with a different picture on each side. 
    When rotated, you saw a combined picture (known as persistence of vision).
    1831- PHENAKITOSCOPE
    The phenakitoscope featured spinning disks reflected in mirrors that 
    made it seem like the pictures were moving.
    1834 - ZOETROPE
    The zoetrope was a hollow drum that housed images on long interchangeable 
    strips that spin and made the images appear to move.
    1868 - FLIP-BOOK
    The flip-book, also known as the kineograph, reached a wide audience and is credited 
    with inspiring early animators more than the machines developed in this era.
    1877 - MOVIEOLA/PRAXINOSCOPE
    The praxinoscope expanded on the zoetrope, using multiple wheels to rotate images. 
    It is considered to have shown the first prototypes of the animated cartoon.
