Early American animation

Early American animation, beginning in the early 20th century, involves the creation of moving images through hand-drawn or cutout techniques, establishing the foundational styles and techniques used today. Pioneers like Walt Disney and others developed techniques such as cell animation, where individual frames are drawn on transparent sheets, allowing for efficient production. These animations often featured short films for theaters, exploring humor, storytelling, and entertainment. Early American animation laid the groundwork for the industry's growth, influencing popular culture and advancing technological and artistic techniques in visual storytelling.
