The Beginnings of a New Art Form - Part 2

Animation from 1937-1995


Walt Disney Studios became the dominant force in animation after the success of the Mickey Mouse series, and it wasn't long until Walt turned his eye towards feature films. Not only did he create films with widespread popularity, him and his team also improved on animation technique. He wasn't alone though, and between 1937 and 1995 animation was being pushed forward by many different studios until the eventual acceptance of 3D animation into the feature film industry. Below is a timeline detailing prominent events in animation from 1937 to 1995.

  1. I had no idea some of the Disney classics, like Snow White, originated as far back at the 1930's! The interactive element of the timeline enhanced the accessibility of this post ten-fold. Great job.
