In 1920's the time when Walt finished making his Alice Comedies after four year, as his company started to develop by pushing the visual bounds as well with studio finances.He later decided to move onto all cartoon serise in 1927 where he created a character named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.Within a year since he made 26 Oswald cartoon but need additional money by borrowing from George Winkler for the second time under Disney's name by taking over the studio without Disney.


As Walt had to came up with the idea of a new character with his chief animator Ub Iwerks before Iweks received the letter from Disney.

Since Dinsey designed an idea of a mouse by attempting to use a name Mortimer,but the time his wife Lily came up with the idea the name Mickey.And so the star was later born.As Iwerk animated two Mickey Mouse cartoon which were used from his first idea inspired by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.By later replacing Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. When Walt decided that his studio should make the first sound cartoon. Which the studio poured all the resource into the third making of the mickey mouse cartoon. That later Mickey Mouse became a sensation hit around the world.Which helped the financial success from the basis of the Disney's empire.As it remain to be mickey that became the studio icon logo.

George Winkler: Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie (1928) was the first cartoon animation that produced a soundtrack of music from sound effect.

1900's Animation

Later on during the 1900's animation started to develop using praxinoscope from Charles-Émile Reynaud invention.

As the first animated work was filmed from a standard picture of J.Stuart Blackton work called Humorous Phases of Funny faces (1906).Where it featured a cartoonist drawing faces on the chalkboard, as faces started to come back to life. Which actually was used a black pen that was hand drawn on a white paper that later printed on a film-negative to look like a white chalk.

By the time during 1914 a American cartoonist called Winsor McCay released the early character animation called Gertie the Dinosaur,as animation lasted longer less then 10 minutes

As animation started to become longer from a moving imagery, by the first animation called El Apostol (1917) made by Quirino Cristiani from Argentina. From the only animation that had used cut out instead of cel animation. Where Walt Disney's film of Snow white and the seven Dwarfs (1937) is often considered animation to feature first full-length cel animated motion picture in history,as well to become feature film in America.

Praxinoscope (1877)

The praxinoscope, invented by French scientist Charles-Émile Reynaud, was a more sophisticated version of the zoetrope. It used the same basic mechanism of a strip of images placed on the inside of a spinning cylinder, but instead of viewing it through slits, it was viewed in a series of small, stationary mirrors around the inside of the cylinder, so that the animation would stay in place, and provide a clearer image and better quality. Reynaud also developed a larger version of the praxinoscope that could be projected onto a screen, called the Théâtre Optique.












Wikipeida

As later on 1894 Reynaud Invention of the Praxinoscope developed, as his moving animation began to use hand drawn element. By experimenting his work of an animation he made called Autour une cabine.

As the background of the animation,of Autour une cabine was projected separately, as moving the figured charater was to be painted in an individual cells. Which had to be mounted onto a paper and leather band using to project the large Praxinoscope that had to be operated, using the mirror to create speed action of the scene.

Filp Book

The filp book is an orginal aniamtional movement that was introduce by John Barnes in 1868. As the ideal filp book is used from modern society from the development with Zoetrope. Where the book contained a serise of picture that gradually moves from next page to another to create an illusion of motion. Which were often hand drawn by other artist to bring there idea of artwork to life.

Since other example like the Mutoscope was invented during 1894 since it is basically a filp book that in a box with crake handle to filp the pages.

Phenakistoscope

The Phenakistoscope is an early animation device, that was used to create a persistence from illusion of motion.
As the principle of the device was exstablished by Belgian Joseph Plateau. As Plateau was later revealed it during 1832,from later the same year when Austrian Simon von Stampfer invented the stroboscopic disk, from a similar machine.


Thaumatrope

The Thaimatrope is a small victorian invention of a quick animation. That was clame to be invented by john Ayrton Paris or Peter mark. As i found information from Wikipedia from an exmaple how thaimatrope was used. For example one side of the picture included a bare tree of the rose and the other side of the disk. Which spines one of each side to creat motion effect.

As the Thaumatrope was one of the simple mechanical optical toys that was used persistence the vision from the importance element of recongnising the cinematographys and animations.

Zoetrope


The zoetrope was the earliest moving animation that was invented during 180 AD around China from the inventor named Ding Huan. Since inventor idea was use a device by hunging the lamp which was the called the pipe around to make a moving image as the picture spins by twisting the Vanes from the top.
As later many century pass a modern zoetrope was later invented in 1834 by Bristish Mathematician William George Horner.Which he invented the Zoetrope which was known as Daedalum since he translated as the wheel of devil. As the creation of Horner work wasn't well known until the 1860 before his death.
Since American developer Milton Bradley named Horner inventions as Zoetrop by replacing Daedalum.Where Zoetrop mean wheels of life.http:

History of Animation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_animation

History of animation started of during the Prehistoric time from the first Cave painting.
As the revaluation of art became well known for its purpose becoming a story telling imagry or act of expressionism.
Since the Cave painting showed a story behind how mankind started off from civilization towards survival living creatures from the plant of the earth.

Where the earliest European cave paintings date to the Aurignacian, some 32,000 years ago
as some evidence shows cave painting where not morely decoration of living area for example living indoor house from designer kitchen,living room or bathroom. As evidence shows a cave didn't have a signs of on going habitation.
But there often theories that scientist thought it may hold the way of communication towards other earlist human being from the first standard of knowledge. Since communication was the purpose of animation was imagery ,that is part of telling stories.


As time went on mankind had developed way of knowledge throw soical believe and culture throw out the ancient time but not survival throw living in caves or rare animals thats extinct from decades of time.
Even history can't always tell the percific reason how animations started off beacuse there are loads of infmoration or forgotton knowledge that could not be told but confusing.Well heres an evdience i found in wikipedia from the example of 5 ,200-year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-e Sukhteh.
Where the picture of bowl appears to show a five images of a goat leaping up to nip at a tree where it considered to a show sequences.
Even towards showing a movment of story from less narrative information from simple drawing.

Heres another exmaple i found wikipedia again of an Egytian mural that was found in the thomb of Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum at the Beni Hassan cemetery.Which the painting is around 4,000 years old which appears to show soldiers being trained to wrestling.

Another example:

, Tomb of Ounsou, Thebes, Egypt, wall painting, h: NA,
(Dynasty XVIII, New Kingdom), c. 1,500 B.C.:


Here it shows an Egyptian slavery working throw hours and time around building the pyramid,which describe as depicting motion. As the images shows history
what Egytain people where like during
there civilization.
