Animation Over Time

I have been looking at animation over time, going from the first animation in 1906 'Humorous Phases of Funny Faces' to one of the most recent animations 'UP'. Animation has changed rapidly over time, and im very excited to see where we will be in 40 years time. Im not a fan of the 3D cinema at the moment, i havent warmed to it. The thought of having to sit wearing wierd glasses for 2 hours just dosent attract me. The first time I really noticed animation was when i watched Monsters INC. They managed to capture each strand of hair and the defination to me was the most amazing thing in the world. I have always loved animation however it was around the early 2000's when the animation really got my atention. I was yet to be amazed again when Wall-e appeared in the cinemas. It looks so real and although he cant talk, the animators and directors have really caught the emotions and its so easy to connect with the machine robot, sounds silly but its so clever. Here are quite a few images i have found to show you the extent animation has changed over time.
