International Animation Day

International Animation Day is celebrated on October 28 in the USA and reminds everyone of the times when watching a cartoon seemed like the most enjoyable thing in the world! Today, a huge number of cartoons have been created that are interesting not only for children, but also for adults. It is not clear who needs them more, because everyone loves them!

History

The holiday was founded in 2002 by the Association Internationale du Film d’Animation. The date was not chosen by chance: on this day, animation first appeared before the world. The production was called “Pantomimes Lumineuses”. An event took place in Paris at the Grevin Museum.

There are different types of animation. Classic (2D) – perhaps the most recognizable of all, it required careful rendering of frames, as it did not include digital tools. 3D – one of the most popular, gives the image realism. Stop animation combines images of stationary elements in a certain sequence, creating the illusion of movement.
