Animation is the use of motion picture media to create the illusion of motion. While a conventional motion picture records objects in motion, an animated picture records still objects. The animated film may record thousands of individual drawings or it may record a single object, which is moved between frames. The art of animation predates cinema, having its beginnings with devices such as the zoetrope.
