A good example of a pre-cinema piece was the zoetrope, which was a beautiful way of showing the illsuion of movement in a more complex way compared to other forms of animation before it. Sure, there were many succesors to the zoetrope but it’s a very creative way to show animation. If anything, it’s extremely impressive. Not to mention, the magic lantern is a cool way to bring images to life at it’s time, and it was a very creative way to show the illusion of movement through moving different images around in a lantern. It worked really well when it came to the art of the theater and telling stories like fairy tales and whatnot. Similarly with the zoetrope, you are able to tell a story through the illusion of movement, and both forms of pre-cinema did a great job of that for their own time periods.
