A thaumatrope is a toy that was popular in the 19th century. A disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to blend into one due to the persistence of vision
The phenakistoscope was an early animation device that used a spinning disk of sequential images and the persistence of vision principle to create an illusion of motion.
A zoetrope is one of several pre-cinema animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion.

A flip book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change.
Fantasmagorie is a 1908 French animated film by Émile Cohl. It is one of the earliest examples of traditional (hand-drawn) animation and considered by film historians to be the first animated cartoon.
Steamboat Willie, 1928
The first cartoon with sound effects
Fantasia, 1940
Astro Boy, 1952
Some of the first anime for television. Still to this day anime is mostly done by hand.
A hand-made, scratched-on film experiment in intermittent animation. The images are a group of twenty-four visuals, all non-representational, which arrange and rearrange on the screen in many combinations. The result is a changing pattern of sound and image that has its own rhythm for eye and ear.
