In the earliest stages of animation, when moving figures were created with paper (2D Animation), the art form seemed restricted to drawings and cartoons. Fast forward to today, and animation has changed to flashy, photo-realistic, or cartoonish productions for web games, movies, video games, and more.
Animation is no longer restricted to entertainment but can be used as a medium of expression or communication. For instance, animation can be used in education to explain theories and concepts to students in a way that is more engaging than a standard textbook.
