Animation, as an art form, has undergone an extraordinary journey—growing from simple hand-drawn sketches to complex 3D visual storytelling seen in today’s global entertainment. In the early 20th century, animation began with traditional hand-drawn techniques. Artists created thousands of individual frames on paper, which were photographed and played in sequence to bring characters to life. Walt Disney revolutionized this era with iconic films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), setting the standard for animated storytelling.
