28th October – International Animation Day.
Cartoons are great, they entertained us when we were kids, and they entertain us now.
Cartoons range from gross (see: the internet) to masterpieces (see: Studio Ghibli), but cartoons show us things that just cannot be replicated in real life.
They show us the sheer scope of what you can do just by drawing it, frame by agonizing frame, should be enough to make people celebrate.
Drawings that depict motion date back to Paleolithic cave paintings.
However animation as we know it today, where the image itself seems to be moving, began in 1824, as a simply two-sided child’s toy that depicted a bird in a cage.
As technology improved inventions such as the zoetrope in 1832, and the simple flipbook in 1868, brought with them the ability to make the viewer see and experience more.
Today you should find an animated movie you’ve never seen before, be it Disney or Japanese anime, and try to appreciate just how far we’ve come in terms of animation.
