Animation 1920s - 1950s

Norman McLaren



Dots - 1940

This animation was the first  abstract animation made. This animation
was an experiment were he dropped water droplets and paint droplets
onto the cell.

















Neighbours - 1952

This was an animated film that includes stop motion and real time.
The most famous part of the film is the part were you are tricked into
thinking they are hovering, this was the most tricky part of the film
because you had to take the pictures just as your legs left the ground
as there is only a short time were you are in the air.



















Walt Disney



Steam Boat willie - 1928

Steam boat willie is one of the first animations to have sound.
Although there is not much actual talking involved in this animation
the sound effects are a big difference for the people in that time as
they had never seen it before. There was almost no talking in this
animation because lip syncing was very hard for them to do because
they did not have the technology we have today.


















Snow White - 1937

Snow white was the first animated film to be made. This was the start
of many disney full length films which lasted 2 hours and was drawn
at 25 images per second, which is why it took them about 2-3 years to
complete.

















Max Fleischer

Betty Boop

Betty Boop was one of the classic Max Fleischer cartoons which had to
be sold off when they went out of business to Disney after their film
failed in the Boxoffice because it was over shadowed by Disney's
Snow white.

















Popeye - 1934

Popeye was also a black and white cartoon from Max Fleischer that had
the same fait as Betty boop when she was sold off when they went bankrupt.
When popeye was sold they changed his sailer suit to all white.
