Examples of traditional animations are Pinocchio (United States,1940), Animal Farm (United Kingdom,1954), The Illusionist(British-French,2010).

Most of the 3D animations today are done by using CGI. From something as simple as a short cartoon to something as complex as a feature-length film, an animation is a complicated art that takes a lot of practice and skill in order to properly execute. The most famous company that creates animations is Pixar Animation Studios. Founded in 1985, they have created the very first all-CGI movie in 1995, Toy Story, and they have made a dozen full movies to date. Pixar created an entire business out of the art of 3D
