The History of Animation

This is the historic evolution of animation, ranging from the Magic Lantern invented in the 19th century, all the way to CGI which was first used in 1973, but came to the forefront of the movie industry when it was used in the 1993 classic Jurassic Park, using CGI to create the dinosaurs, while in 1995, the first fully computer-generated feature film was created from Disney's Pixar studio's, which came into the shape of children's favourite Toy Story. Here are a list of animation methods and a link to an example.
