Animation by country

Thehistory of French animation is one of the longest in the world, as France has created some of the earliest animated films dating back to the late 19th century, and invented many of the foundational technologies of early animation.

The first pictured movie was from FrenchmanÉmile Reynaud, who created thepraxinoscope, an advanced successor to thezoetrope that could project animated films up to 16 frames long, and films of about 500~600 pictures, projected on its ownThéâtre Optique atMusée Grévin in Paris, France, on 28 October 1892.

Émile Cohl created what is most likely the first real animatedcartoon to be drawn on paper,Fantasmagorie in 1908. The film featured manymorphing figures. He is also thought to have pioneeredpuppet animation in 1910,pixilation in 1911 and to have started the first animated series in 1916 withLa journée de Flambeau (also known asFlambeau, chien perdu).
