The event of capturing action represented by drawings, named cartoon animating, dates way back to cave paintings and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The development of these basic drawings and graphics into a "Cartoon" was not until 1832 when the Phenakistoscope machine was developed. The simple appliance spun around a wheel with a routine of images, when observed through a single window gave the illusion of motion. The simple principle also developed into the first projection by the Praxinoscope in 1877 and then the most simplistic form, the flipbook, which was first began to buzz up in 1886.
People like myself who are 3D cartoon animation fanatics will value the history behind the finest form of entertainment created, which raised the hopes and moral of familys and children growing up through the period of the first world war, into the great depression. With the biggest cartoon characters ever created such as "Mickey Mouse", "Popeye", "Tom & Jerry" and "Bugs Bunny", the cartoon animation world has always had substantial anticipation.
