          Animation has changed a lot from the 1900's. In that time technology wasn't as advanced as it is now so everything they could to was on paper and pen with no color or sound.  But over time that all eventually changed as cartoons are now in full color and sound. As time went on, so did technology and with the latest tech being made animation studios were able to create better quality animation to the people. Now animation can be done digitally on your computer and with the deput of Toy Story from Pixar in 1995, animation was about to go 3D in the coming years.  As animation grew so did it's fans as they bring in new ideas into the animation community as well as diversity to help bring in a wider audience.  As long as technology is advancing so will the animation community as they continue creating bigger and better projects for the world to enjoy.
