A Chronology of Animation that Goes Back to the 1800s

Don't visit this site if you just think animation is sorta neat and you occasionally watch Smurfs. Okay? Visit this site if you think the whole concept of animation is super-cool and you visited that LOC site on early animation when I wrote it up and you're really into timelines. It's the Chronology of Animation at http://www.public.iastate.edu/~rllew/chronst.html .

This site spans the 1880s to 2004. Pick an era and you'll get a timeline, but the timeline is divided by region. So when you go to look at 1972 (Fat Albert, Sealab 2020, and -- a BC Thanksgiving special?) you'll see that it's divided into US; the Americas excluding the US; Europe, Middle East, and Africa; Japan; and Australasia excluding Japan.

Animation projects are listed by month and include name, what kind of project it was (TV, film, etc.) the producers, and what kind of animation it was (drawn, live, cgi animation.) There are also notes here for when notable figures in the animation world were born and died, and company information. Extensive.
