Animation is a quick view of the sequence of images 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions to create an illusion of movement. This is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in several ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a film or video program, although some forms of presenting animation also exist.

An early example of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion pictures can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs keatasnya positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.

In the year 5200 the old land of the bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides. It has been claimed as an example of early animation. However, because there is no equipment to display moving pictures, like a series of images can not be called animation in a true sense of the word.

The Phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, as well as common flip book early popular animation devices found during 1800, while the zoetrope-type device was invented in China in 180 AD. These devices produced movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of film.

No one can be regarded as the creator of the art of film animation, because there are some people doing some projects that could be considered various types of animation all around the same time.

Georges Méliès was a creator of film special effects, it is generally the first one who uses his animation technique. He discovered a technique deliberately to stop the camera rolling to change something in place, and then continue rolling the film. This idea was later known as stop-motion animation. Méliès discovered this technique accidentally when his camera broke down while shooting a bus driving by. When he fixed the camera, a hearse passing by just as Méliès restarted rolling movie, the end result is that he has managed to make a bus turned into a hearse. This is just one of the great contributors to animation in the early years.
