Funny Animation Pictures Biography

1906 J Stuart Blackton is credited with being the first to harness stop-motion film-making to basic animation in what is widely said to be the first animated film: Humorous Phases of Funny Faces. Blackton drew cartoon faces on a blackboard and filmed them, stopping the camera in order to erase one face and draw another, before filming the new drawing.

1917 Quirino Cristiani's satire El Apóstol (The Apostle), thought to be the first full-length animated movie, is released in Argentina. It ran at around 70 minutes and comprised 58,000 frames, but all known copies of the film were lost in a fire in 1926.

1937 Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first surviving full-length animated movie. It was also the first in colour, and marked the studio's feature-length debut. Disney's wife, Lillian, apparently tried to talk him out of it, saying: "No one's ever gonna pay a dime to see a dwarf picture."

1985 Studio Ghibli is founded in Japan. Its films span female-oriented fantasy (My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service) to tougher subjects, such as second world war drama Grave of the Fireflies and the environmentally themed Pom Poko. The 2001 masterpiece Spirited Away wins an Oscar.

1995 Toy Story, the first entirely computer-generated 3D animation feature, is released; each frame took between four and 13 hours to complete. The toys, textures and locations are dazzling – although human skin and hair, which lag some way behind in the realism stakes, are kept largely out of sight.
