Since the beginnings of time, human beings have tried to
capture a sense of motion in their art. Today, animation
is used in various forms. It is seen in advertisements on
television, on your computer screen, or on many things
that pop up from the net. It is used in movie films, such
as, “The Matrix,” “Titanic,” and “Who Framed Roger
Rabbit?” When you get down to the cartoon style of
digital animation, you’ll see animation in “Toy Story,”
“Shrek,” and “A Bug’s Life.” Animation can be seen in
many aspects of our life.
