Zebras(1978)
Three zebras, their graphics and their environment generate the frames of this film, which, once projected, is neither a presentation of the zebras, nor a continuity of movement, but a succession of isolated effects which seem random, even though they are generated by a fully structured photographic picture. The zebras are not the film (they are not seen in the projected film), but they are the structure of the film, that is to say its score (the succession of frames).

Gertie the Dinosaur(en)
Although not the first feature-length animated film, as is sometimes thought, it was the first cartoon to feature a character with an appealing personality. The appearance of a true character distinguished it from earlier animated "trick films", such as those of Blackton and Cohl, and makes it the predecessor to later popular cartoons such as those by Walt Disney. The film was also the first to be created using keyframe animation.
