Perhaps the earliest concept of animation, came from the cave paintings done by the nameless, yet talented people of the ancient age. The funny, tawny little pictures carved on the walls of those caves, held in them some sort of dynamicity that were reflected in the still pictures. Soon from the earliest forms of the flip books, where the glimpse of such motion was found, animation underwent a long journey into the modern era. The journey of animation to the modern age has been possible due to the priceless contributions of some of the pioneers like Georges Melies, J. Stuart Blackton, Edison and of course Walt Disney, who transformed Animation to such heights that made way for the fascinating Animated/Children Movies. The overall enchanting performance of these Animated/Children Movies of today, owes a lot to the early crusaders in this field, who made this possible by their fascinating cartoons that served as the fundamental pillars of moving animation.
Animation in Movies first made its start with the production of short animated films called cartoons. The pictures were drawn on paper and then photocopied on transparent acetate sheets called cels, to be photographed and run with the help of a rostrum camera. Such were the procedures of traditional animation that indeed sowed the seeds of today's high tech Computer Animation. From the painstaking process of drawing each and every picture, depicting all possible acts, the process reached new heights after certain developments were put into practice by several crusaders in this field, including the Father of Animation, Walt Disney. Today the Animated/Children Movies use software programs that help to color the drawings and skillfully adjust the camera for bringing on the movements and the special effects.
One of the most fascinating series of Animated/Children Movies is the repertoire of short films and clips of Mickey Mouse by the epoch making works of Ub Iwerks and Disney in the early 20th Century.

After the spectacular success of these short films many other animated movies made their way to the world of cinema and Hollywood soon became the hub of animation in the world. After Disney's Gulliver Travels and Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, using animation in movies were in vogue, urging a lot of cartoonists, investors and talented people to this realm. Inspired by Mickey Mouse, Pluto and Donald Duck, many cartoonists and technical experts became interested in character animation. Character Animation reached its heights with some of the major successes in the recent decades, like: Popeye the Sailor, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
