While many fans are eagerly awaiting for the release
of Cars and hoping that the recently acquired Pixar will revive Disney, let's not forget to thank the man who first
brought drawings to life, James
Stuart Blackton. Curious as to what the first animated short was all about? Lucky for you the Library of Congress
has it on hand. Titled "Humorous Phases of Funny
Faces" it was created in April of 1906 and features Blackton's hand creating various cartoons followed by the
'animation' of them. Happy 100!To 'Animation', happy 100th birthday!
