From the early days of Walt Disney gracing the Tatler cover in 1930 to the enchanting release of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs in the UK in 1938, it has captivated audiences throughout history. But it's not just about fairy tales and princesses; it can also bring colossal creatures like Godzilla to life, as seen when he wreaked havoc on an oil refinery in one of his Japanese movies. Animation goes beyond entertainment, too. It helps us visualize complex systems like air traffic, allowing us to understand and manage our skies more efficiently. And let's not forget about Thunderbirds - those iconic puppets that thrilled viewers with their daring rescues and futuristic adventures. Behind-the-scenes glimpses into their filming process reveal the intricate craftsmanship involved in bringing these marionettes to life. But animation is nothing new; its roots stretch back thousands of years. A fragment of a wall painting from ancient Egypt's tomb of Nebamun showcases how even then, people sought to capture movement through art during the 18th Dynasty around c1350 BC. Whether it's breathing life into fictional characters or preserving historical moments for eternity, animation continues to evolve and mesmerize us all.
