It was the first time that the first animation project was presented to the public in France by Charles Emil Reynod in 1892. Where it was through a projector for slides that contained drawings drawn on frames.
The first cartoon in the United States was produced by Stuart Blakton, and the images were hand-drawn. The term animation changed to Cartoons in 1910. The films were widely distributed in most European regions. Computer animation at the beginning of 1995, was a quantum leap in the industry, where the first film was introduced using this mechanism is Toy Store.
