These seem so simple and dated to us but imagine living in the 1880s and seeing animation like this for the first time when it was invented. Must have been mind-blowing.
I'd forgotten about that; we used to make whole flip books of animated adventures. What a fun collection you have there! Interesting that the cat runs forwards and backwards.
I have a sci-fi/fantasy novel where-in the author included a flip-animation on the corners of the pages. 🥰 I enjoy little “Easter eggs” like that, and my boys enjoyed the novelty so much they were interested in reading the story; a miracle, at the time. 😂

Really lovely that you have and show these wonderful old devices of entertainment. Cutting edge in their day, and hopefully still appreciable in ours. Cheers!
I had a tin version of those last two. There was a mirrored pillar in the center and various cardboard rings like the cats that fit around it. The whole toy was on a rotating pedestal that you spun. We even made some disks of our own.
So nice, so nice. A few nerdy friends would do flip drawings in the margins of our school books. I think we were 13 or 14 at the time. We did get into trouble for defacing our books. We claimed it was the damage caused by talented previous classmates. There was a sympathetic Lady collecting our books that seemed to like what we did and, with a wink, looked the other way went she could. Thank You, Mrs. Wheat. Shy, unconfident kids needed your kindness.
the zoetrope is the opposite of the slit experiment; where instead of it observed as a particle(s) starting out outside and then showing up as a wave pattern in the box, the animation starts out in the box as a wave, or contrary patterns to create a positive and negative wave swing, that comes out of the box as a particle(s) or solid story to an observer
Muybridge, the creator of the first cat animation shown here, was a photographer and his photo books are still in print and used by artists studying animation.
Amazing artifacts Tim thank-you for sharing these. I've grown up with video games and some of the technologies used frame by frame animation for example a game from the 90's called Flashback an amazing adventure game that used a technique called Rotoscope. Each animation was hand drawn frame by frame then stitched together to create the illusion of movement.. The rotoscope technique was used in many games, Castlevania was another and the technique allows the creator to show more realistic movement but at a painstaking cost of allot of time needed to create the animation..
Hi, Tim, great stuff; I love persistence of movement effects! I'm wondering if you've seen the latest one that combines the last type you showed with the strobe effect? I only learned about the around a month or so ago. The lights need to be out, which is neat because it blacks out much of the machine itself, and when you spin the figures around, a strobe mounted in the carousel only shines on one spot and the figure itself appears animated, rather than being reflected in a mirror. It's a very immersive effect. There are some videos of it on YT, but I'm sure you've probably seen them. Keep up the fun work. 👍
Hi - yes, we also stocked it for a while. Invented by a friend of ours - Rufus Butler Seder www.rufuslifetiles.com/ - he no longer has these made. Sadly.

Don't forget that they aren't apes
and the possibility of 3D printing brings back the good old zoetropes, and with mirrors, you don't even need the strobe light.
The last one with the 3D figures is very gorgeous! It immediately made me think of claymation, which is such a lovely art form.
I'd forgotten about that; we used to make whole flip books of animated adventures. What a fun collection you have there! Interesting that the cat runs forwards and backwards.
No matter how advanced tech gets, it will never have the charm of these simple, but entertaining, novelties. Thanks, Tim.

I'm an animation teacher, this video would be so useful to my students!! It's always amazing to see this devices in action!
nice of Tim to show toys from when his grandparents were kids….no, seriously: these are all devices based on things from the 1870s/1880s!
I don't think his grandparents were alive in 1870.

These inventions paved the way for modern film animation. As an animation enthusiast, thanks for showcasing!
Honestly I'm just entranced by the magic lantern slide, what a beautiful thing. No ad breaks in that, either!
I've never see flipboards being used for animation; the sound is so satisfying! 😊
We used to make the flick through paper animations in the corners of school exercise books
2:05 I'd never heard this word before. For others who might want to search for more information, the spelling is "thaumatrope."
Excellent as ever! I think many of us will remember making flicker books when we were kids. Thanks Tim! ⭐👍
❤Just the sheer science behind this was enough to stop me, but Tim's breadth of knowledge of the toys also is astounding.❤
we started with that and 100 years later (or more) we have CGI, 3D and I.A.... it's crazy!

The camera’s work in this video is also superb.
Reminds me of the Wheaties "thumb books" showing Babe Ruth, et al, hitting home runs!
Used to watch tim when i was 7 i liked his toys so much
This man is Santa Claus and you cannot convince me he isn’t
Ah, the bird in the cage. My brother drew a “Kirby in the cage” when we were kids… '_'
Wonderful collection of animated loveliness, Tim!

This is the most beautiful video i witnessed for days now!
I'm so glad you are still uploading videos. ❤❤❤
Nicely filmed! Thanks, Tim!
Muybridge, the creator of the first cat animation shown here, was a photographer and his photo books are still in print and used by artists studying animation.
I remember buying several flip-books from Disneyland back in the '50s-'60s
Anyone see these kinds of wonders and think, "we've been spoiled by technology... and we have too much of it."
Insane work by the person working the camera on this one, not enough credit for the difficult shots in this video!
G'day to you Sir, thank you for this ,brought back a lot of Memories ,I am glad I found you, very Entertaining!!
The corners of arithmetic books make great flip books.
that was very cool tim
i enjoyed the jump rope projector
We used to make stick man versions of those in our school books when I was a kid.

Rotoscoping is drawing over actual filmed movements. Hand drawn frame by frame was just the base form of animations until computers came along.
Tim is still alive our legend
A quick Google of some modern 3d zoetropes make you realise how far we've come, some even have speakinhg models
Very nice showcase. ... And then Walt Disney was born.
I’ve still got a flip book I made of the genie dancing then getting sucked into the bottle from “I dream of Jeannie”

Mr Meeseeks, teach me how to dance.
Quick note: that other version of the zoetrope is known as a phenakistiscope.
Tips and tricks. My respects!

If this guy speaks with American Southern accent, the channel could be perceived very differently.

Thanks Tim!
I wonder if Tim knows of/has played Bioshock Infinite. The Bird and the Cage Lutece Twins - brings back fond memories.
nice collection.
Splendid!

If only that wasn't neglected in the imagisphere.
Stephen Fry honestly can't be beaten. I really hope we get an actual LBP4.
Just a real shame Sony got as greedy as Microsoft for online being paid. I can hope they bring LBP4 to PC.
