Traditional animation dates back to 180AD, with the first zoetrope invented by the Chinese Ting Huan. Devices such as the Thaumatrope and the Phenakistoscope were early techniques to create simple moving image animations.
The first hand-drawn animation is said to be Humourous Stages of Funny Faces (1906) by J. Stuart Blackton. The first use of stop-motion animation is credited to Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton together, their short video titled The Humpty Dumpty Circus shows figures doing various acrobatics. Although I would consider the Humourous Stages of Funny Faces a stop-frame animation in itself.
