Animation plays a large role in the entertainment industry. Many movies are animated and the techniques used to create animated have become very unique from each other as the years have progressed and new ideas have been explored. The Origins of American Animation collection includes 21 animated films and 2 fragments from 1900-1921. Of these animations are clay, puppet, pen drawing, and cut-out techniques. These animations also demonstrate the social attitudes of early twentieth-century America.
