'''Animation''' is the technique of [[film]]ing a sequence of drawings or positions of models to create an [[illusion]] of movement. The technique goes at least as far back as 19th century Europe, and was perfected in the USA by [[Walt Disney]]. Adding sound to animation greatly increased the market for animation. Disney's "[[Steamboat Willie]]" is a classic example, followed by his "[[Silly Symphonies]]". Not to be outdone, [[Warner Brothers]] created their [[Looney Tunes]] and [[Merrie Melodies]].

The world's most famous animated cartoon character is Disney's [[Mickey Mouse]]. [[Chuck Jones]]'s [[Bugs Bunny]] is an American favorite. [[Delgo]], who was introduced in the film of the same name, is a relatively obscure character due to the commercial failure of the film.
