First animated cartoonIn 1913, the first animated cartoon made in the U.S. by modern techniques was released. John Randolph Bray invented and patented the process, producing a movie called The Artist's Dream (also known as The Dachsund) in which a dog eats sausages until it explodes. Bray began his career as an artist for a newspaper. He soon began selling cartoons to magazines. After signing a contract with Pathe to make cartoons, Bray set up his own studio with other artists. He patented many of his improvements on the animation process, realizing early on the business potential of these developments. One of these innovations was the use of translucent paper to make it easier to position objects in successive drawings. |
