History of animation video (MIT):

This video briefly explains how persistence of vision is in effect with early animations, for example with zoetropes, and how early stop motion animation is used.
It introduces the viewers to famous names in animation, such as Emile Cohl, Winsor McCay, and Walt Disney.
I find it interesting to see the character development from McCay's Gertie the dinosaur and Disney's Mickey Mouse. Compared to Gertie, Mickey Mouse is anthropomorphised and given not only human-like qualities, but also human-like actions, and even a voice. The audience is then able to create an emotional connection with this character.
