Animation comes from early drawings in cave paintings. They were images drawnnext to each other in a sequence to look like the pictures were moving. The first animated film was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906. Walt Disney invented a way of innovating animated movies with his Multiplane Camera. That was a way to create a three-dimensional effect. The first feature length animated film was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937 which used the Multiplane Camera. Then in 1964 computers started being used to produce animated movies. Then Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) was born with the first full length CGI movie being Toy Story.
In animated movies, the bad guys usually have pointy ugly facial features and deep voices. They also often have a ditsy sidekick who provides the comic relief within the film. The good guys are always very attractive with bright eyes with perfect bodies. In movies with animals, the animals always talk and bright colors are used that aren't normally found in real life. Those colors attract eyes to make it more appealing.
The films I chose are: Bambi (1942), Beauty and the Beast (1991), and Anastasia (1997).
