Anthropomorphism And The "1st" Animation Film

 Anthropomorphism is when objects and animals are given human characteristics, which Disney did alot in all there films.

 Mickey Mouse is thought to be the 1st animated character but in fact it Alice In Cartoonland came before Mickey  Mouse in 1923.

UB Iworks was the guy who actually drew Mickey Mouse As Walt Disney Couldn't, but they did invent the multiplaying camera which had 3 layers, background,middle and foreground, to give there animation more depth than rival company's. Steam boat willie came out in 1928 but Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs is considered the "1st" featured film.

Max Fleischer - Popeye
Otto Messmer - Felix The Cat       All these were rivals to Walt Disney
George Herriman  - Krazy Kat
