Animated movies __________(change) a lot over the last 100 years. Winsor McCay _________
(consider) the father of animation. In the early 1900s, McCay ________ (animate) his films by
himself. He _______ (drew) every picture separately and had them photographed, one at a time.
Hundreds of photographs ________ (need) to make a one-minute film. Sometimes it would take
him more than a year to make a five-minute cartoon. In 1914, the development of celluloid (a
transparent material) _______ (make) animation easier. Instead of drawing each picture
separately, the animator could make a drawing of the background, which remained motionless,
while only the characters moved. Walt Disney _______ (take) animation to a new level. He
______ (create) Mickey Mouse, ______ (add) sound and music to his movies, and ______
(produce) the first full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Many people
think he was a great cartoonist, but he wasn’t. Instead, he was a great story editor and clever
businessman who had other artists do most of the drawings. Today most animated films _______
(not draw) by hand. The animation _______ (do) by computer software. Also special effects for
movies, such as Star Wars, _______ (do) by computer animation. To create the illusion of
movement, an image _______ (put) on the computer and then quickly replaced by a similar
image with a small change. While this technique is similar to hand-drawn animation, the work
________ (can do) much faster by computer. In fact, anyone with a home computer and special
software can create a simple animation.
