This historic DVD features 21 of the earliest and most hilarious animated features made between 1900 and 1921.
Frenchman Paul Roget, who invented the thaumatrope, achieved the first true movement of an object in a picture. His invention consisted of a disc with a string or peg attached to both sides. One side of the disc showed a bird, the other an empty cage. When the disc was twirled, the bird appeared to be inside the cage. This experiment led to the understanding of persistence of human vision and proved that the eye retains images when it is exposed to a series of pictures, one at a time.
Joseph Plateau's phenakistoscope developed in 1826 gave the necessary leg-up to other inventors. In 1860, Pierre Desvignes inserted a strip of paper containing drawings on the inside of a drum like cylinder. The drum twirled on a spindle, and the viewer gazed through slots on the drum. The figures on the inside magically came to life, endlessly looping in an acrobatic feat.
Around this time, several other American inventors such as Thomas A. Edison were bending their backs to develop a successful motion picture camera, while others were perfecting the art of producing drawings and paintings that could move. Chief among the latter was Stuart Blackton, who issued a short film in 1906 entitled Humorous Phases of Funny Faces where he drew comical faces on a blackboard, photographed them, and then erased the picture to draw another stage of the facial expression. This "stop-motion" effect astonished audiences by making drawings comes to life.
Few early-animated films carried a story line, except for Otto Meessmer's Felix the Cat and Winsor McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur. McCay produced his animated stories by making between four thousand and ten thousand separate line drawings and then filming these with a movie camera.
