A Brief History of Disney Animation

Walt Disney released its first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in 1937. The movie was made using a technique known as cel animation, where characters were drawn on cels (transparent celluloid sheets) and superimposed on painted backgrounds.

Chicken Little (2005) was Disney's first fully computer-animated feature, though several movies before it featured CGI, starting with The Black Cauldron in 1985. The last hand-drawn animated Disney movie was Winnie the Pooh in 2011.
