Did you know that cartoons came before movies?

We humans have always been fascinated by movement. The idea of ​​animating still pictures is much older than cinema or TV. More than 30,000 years ago, in Prehistory, cave paintings already simulated movement with figures of animals with several legs, suggesting that they were running. But these static paintings could not yet be called cartoons. As we know it today, the cartoon is based on an optical illusion discovered in the 19th century by a Belgian physiologist named Plateau. That's right, the father of animation is a doctor!

After the scientist managed to discover the formula for the illusion of perfect motion, several others inventors created their own cartoon machines, which soon became a rage among adults and kids.
