Was Walt Disney the 1st person to create an animation?

Question

I need to know wether Walt Disney was the 1st person to make an animated film or cartoon.

Answer 1

Nope. I believe he may have been the first person to have a feature length film, but he did not invent animation.

Answer 2

No he was not. There was animation way back in the early days of film-making, long before Walt Disney came on the scene.

For example, in 1926 there was "The Adventures of Prince Achmed", an animated silent flick.

Answer 3

Answer 4

The first examples of trying to capture motion into a drawing can already be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting depicting a sense of motion.

The history of film animation begins with the earliest days of silent films and continues through the present day.

The first animated film was created by frenchman Émile Reynaud, inventor of the praxinoscope, an animation system using loops of 12 pictures. On October 28, 1892 at Musée Grévin in Paris, France he exhibited animations consisting of loops of about 500 frames, using his théatre optique system - similar in principle to a modern film projector.

The first animation on standard picture film was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces by J. Stuart Blackton in the year 1906. It features a cartoonist drawing faces on a chalkboard, and the faces coming to life.

Fantasmagorie, by the French director Émile Cohl (also called Émile Courtet), is also noteworthy; it was projected for the first time on August 17, 1908 at 'Théâtre du Gymnase', in Paris. Émile Courtet later went to Fort Lee, New Jersey near New York City in 1912, where he worked for French studio Éclair and spread its technique in the US.

The first puppet-animated film was The Beautiful Lukanida (1910) by the Russian-born ethnically-Polish Director Wladyslaw Starewicz (Ladislas Starevich).

Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (produced in Technicolor) is sometimes incorrectly considered to be the first animated feature, even though at least five feature-length animationed films had been produced previously: the very first was El Apóstol (1917) by Quirino Cristiani from Argentina, who also directed two other animated feature films, including 1931's Peludopolis, the first animated feature film with sound. Another notable early feature was the silhouette-animated The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) from German Lotte Reiniger and French/Hungarian Berthold Bartosch which used colour-tinted scenes. The New Gulliver (1935) from the USSR also predates Snow White.

Answer 5

History of Animation: Before Disney

A forerunner of today's comic strip can be found in an Egyptian wall decoration circa 2000 B.C. In successive panels it depicts the actions of two wrestlers in a variety of holds. In one of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous illustrations, he shows how the limbs would look in various positions. Giotto's angels seem to take flight in their repetitive motions. The Japanese used scrolls to tell continuous stories.
