Fantasmagorie, the world’s first fully animated cartoon, was released on Aug 17, 1908: Watch it here

On August 17, 1908, the Gaumont company in Paris released Fantasmagorie, the world’s first fully animated cartoon created by Emile Cohl in the traditional hand-drawn animation style. The film depicting crazy images morphing fluidly from one to the next is a tribute to the Incoherent Art Movement of France which had been almost forgotten by that time. This later gave birth to many of the techniques used in avant-garde art later on.
