The zoetrope was one of the earliest movie toys and was extremely popular in the latter half of the 19th century. It consisted of a slotted cylinder through with one views paper animated movie strips. As the cylinder spins the user looks through the slits at the pictures on the opposite side of the cylinder's interior. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together so that the user sees a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion, the equivalent of a motion picture.

Hello, I love this video. I work in a museum and we are developing an exhibition about how cinema began. Would you be happy for us to possibly use excerpts from this video to help explain early entertainment to our visitors? Thanks, Charlotte

why don’t people like you stop insulting artists by making it sound like you are doing them a favour by using their work for free rather than paying them.

@@chris1.2 Museums are non profit and usually cannot afford to buy everything. Most museums rely entirely on donations to obtain anything at all worth looking at. Admission usually doesn't even cover the expense of maintaining the property and paying the electric bill. FYI, most art museums don't pay for the art that they display. Most of it is loaned or donated.
