'''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.
== Animation and culture ==
Most American animation is geared toward children. [[Japan]]ese animation, on the other hand, in addition to having animation which caters to children, also has animations which address serious topics like war or politics.<ref>http://www.animation.com</ref>
