About
Character animation is a specialized area of the animation process, which involves bringing animated characters to life. The role of a Character
Animator is analogous to that of a film or stage actor, and character animators are often said to be "actors with a pencil" (or a mouse). Character
animators breathe life in their characters, creating the illusion of thought, emotion and personality. Character animation is often distinguished
from creature animation, which involves bringing photo-realistic animals and creatures to life.

Winsor McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) is often considered the very first example of true character animation. Later, Otto Messmer imbued Felix
the Cat with an instantly recognizable personality during the 1920s.
In the 1930s, Walt Disney made character animation a particular focus of his animation studio, best showcased in productions such as Three Little Pigs,
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Dumbo. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the "first full length animated and musical feature, in Technicolor.
Though typical examples of character animation are found in animated feature films, the role of character animation within the gaming industry is rapidly increasing.
Game developers are using more complicated characters that allow the gamer to more fully connect with the gaming experience. Prince of Persia, God of War, Team Fortress
II or Resident Evil contain examples of character animation in games. -
