History of Animation

This chapbook goes over the history of animation. It expresses how the medium was first developed, what techniques were used, the studios that elevated the medium, and how animation could evolve in the future.

Animation has played an important role in my life. I’ve grown up watching a variety of animations. When I began to learn how to animate and make motion designs, I created this chapbook to compile everything I’ve learned about the history of animation.

This chapbook features the origins of animation, the earliest animation tools, major animation studios, and where the animation industry can go in the future.
