Scavenger Hunt- Film Animation ~1900-1921

For the scavenger hunt, I chose images of various animation cartoons in America from 1900- 1921. There are 11 stills of early animation from the early twentieth century America. These images include animals, men and women, children, African Americans and dinosaurs. Clay, puppet, pen drawings and cut out animation are incorporated into these early animations and were very popular in the 1900s. These images all have important connections to the early twentieth century. They are tied to early newspaper comic strips and animated films. The images depict the development of early animation and showcase the advancing technology of animation. They also reveal the social attitudes of the early twentieth century and the effect those attitudes had on society. Besides the animation images, there are detailed descriptions and summaries of each individual animation, as well as information on the creator and how the cartoon got created; provided on the website. Here is a link to the website I used for my scavenger hunt.
