However, the art of film needed to be fully developed before animation became its present form. The process of projecting images on a large screen was invented before film.
In 1640, Athonasius Kircher made a device called 'Magic Lantern'. He drew pictures on glass and projected them on a screen with a magic lantern.
He also invented a rough form of animation.
