Animation turns 100
If you believe James Stuart Blackton's 1906 short "Humorous Phases of Funny
Faces" to be the first use of animation ever (and many do), then that means the artform hits the century mark
in April of this year. Jerry over at Cartoon Brew
mentions that, like Jazz, animation is a wholly American creation. He left out comic strips, but what can you do? In honor of Animation's birthday,
I would now like to list every animated thing ever. Let's see, there's Cap'n Crunch; Speedy Gonzales; Mickey Mouse; Bugs
Bunny; um, that tiny little ball that helps you sing along to songs... well, I'll finish the list later. In the
meantime, let us raise a glass to this awesome artform. Cheers.
