Nice animation! It found it quite educational as it brought me back in time to see what kind of animation they had.

Amazing video.

[@AidanBlackett]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@risyamustario6056]

Should i upload the evolution of anime (from 1907 to present?)

[@AidanBlackett]

Great idea! I didn't include any anime whatsoever but it's obviously a huge genre in itself.

[@brendatajik6150]

This is 5 years ago...imagine nowadays!

[@Coleepc]

What music is playing in the background because I can't find anywhere

[@AidanBlackett]

It’s ‘Doo La’ by Missing Hito!

[@risyamustario6056]

Yay! I want to do drawing the squid sisters in cuphead mouses art style.

[@risyamustario6056]

What is the name of song that plays in background?

[@AidanBlackett]

The song is 'Doo La' by Missing Hito! Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXbdkn2Bm9OchNU

[@jaguwa4816]

It pretty much all changed in 1908 with Fantasmagorie

[@AidanBlackett]

Fully agree with this - a lot of animators at the time were definitely inspired by Émile Cohl's incredible work!

[@eggy543]

Correction: Snow White And The Seven Dwarves was made in 1937.

[@AidanBlackett]

Lenny Guy I realised that I forgot to change the date on the Snow White after it was uploaded & therefore too late - Thanks for pointing this out though!

[@risyamustario6056]

Can you do origin of surabaya tale but in 1930s cartoon art style?

[@lowercaseuuppercaseU]

a flip book still exists but it’s way older how old is it is 4535

[@treydagamester07]

Just have to animate and edit

[@Top_Hat_Man]

You forgot the 1950s! And where is the 2014, 2015 and 2016? I hope you will do part 2 in the future! 2014-... It must include the lego movies!

[@AidanBlackett]

I didn't have time to add everything unfortunately so I only included cartoons that I felt had the most impact on animation as a whole.

[@kiartoons2010]

Mad you didn’t mention Roger Rabbit. That movie basically pioneered an animation technique never used later on.

[@AidanBlackett]

Unfortunately I only had a limited amount of time to complete this project & had to make some difficult decisions (aka leave out some classics). Richard Williams has definitely inspired a lot of my work via his Animator's Survival Kit though!

[@Rose-nt2cl]

What is the music called??

[@AidanBlackett]

The song is 'Doo La' by Missing Hito! Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXbdkn2Bm9OchNU

how vitrurian man of De vinchi cpunt animation

[@AidanBlackett]

I included the Vitruvian Man in this animation as the man's 2 poses could be considered as 'frames', like in animation. It almost looks like it could depict motion!

[@filmevolution3366]

Felix is 1919 Disney was founded in 1921 not 1923 Betty Boop was in 1930 not 1933 Popeye is 1929 not 1937 Snow White is 1937 not 1940 Tom & Jerry is 1941 not 1940 but close Scooby-Doo's 1968 not 1969, but still also close Pokemon video game was created in 1995 The TV series was in 1996 and another 1997 but not in 1998 You should've added a little more animations, but it was pretty good anyway. Possibly Gumby, Wallace and Gromit, Phineas and Ferb, Rick and Morty, Big Hero 6, Dora, and Spider-Man. Just some tips in a non negative way.

[@AidanBlackett]

Hi there, thanks for watching! This video was made as a 'final-year' college project (I was only 18 when it was created!). While I realise there are more characters that could have been added & better research that could have been undertaken, I was under a tight deadline and had to produce the video fairly quickly. Feel free to read some of my thinking & research process on my college blog here: ccmaidanblackett-fmp.weebly.com/ Thanks!

[@yaniratorres8498]

you forgot the praxinasocpe

[@AidanBlackett]

I did consider adding this to my animation, however was constrained by time. I also felt that it was slightly too similar to the zoetrope. Thanks for watching!

[@yaniratorres8498]

oh

[@douglashaberjr.5733]

snow white was in 1937

[@AidanBlackett]

I realised that I had messed up this date but it was too late to change it. Sorry about this & thanks for watching!

[@aliciaherrera603]

Funny 🤣🤣 0:50

[@AidanBlackett]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@CarlosPerez-hz6ie]

Snow white was in 1937 not 1940

[@AidanBlackett]

Take a look at my response to previous comments pointing this out. Thanks!

1937 was Snow White. A DUH

[@sonicplushycentral6818]

Ah, that makes sense. Lol. And no problem man! I’m a SUCK for this type of stuff. Good video btw! Keep it up!

[@AidanBlackett]

@@sonicplushycentral6818 Thanks so much! :)

[@sonicplushycentral6818]

Aidan no probs! Keep up the good work!

[@treydagamester07]

No offense but you forgot humorous phases of funny faces in 1906

[@AidanBlackett]

I missed out a lot of influential animations and had to cut them out due to time constraints unfortunately. :(

[@treydagamester07]

No prob ^_^

[@juliafudala8000]

betty boop was before disney.

[@AidanBlackett]

Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 - Betty Boop's first on-screen appearance was 1930. I hope this helps!

[@juliafudala8000]

Aidan Blackett max fliesher made animations first.

[@AidanBlackett]

I realise this however the animation shows that Steamboat Willie (Disney) was created before Betty Boop (Fleischer), hence why the characters are presented in that order. :)

[@juliafudala8000]

Aidan Blackett wait yeah i fucked up a bit i am subscribing.

[@AidanBlackett]

Haha no problem & thank you! :)

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

I love how the 70s had literally nothing because the 70s were a boring decade.
