Fantasmagorie
This cartoon was created in 1908 and is considered to be the first hand-drawn animated cartoon. It was drawn on paper and then shot on film twice which is called "animated on twos." My personal opinion of it is that if animation had stayed like this I could be an animator but since it didn't I don't see much hope for me when it comes to hand-drawn animation.
Gertie the Dinosaur
Made in 1914 this naturalistic cartoon was one of the first to use keyframes, registration marks, tracing paper, motoscope action viewer, and animation loops. I found it really boring with only the music and no synchronized audio.
Steamboat Willie
Created in 1928 this was the first Disney cartoon with synchronized sound. I have seen clips of this many times but never the entire thing. While watching it I kept thinking that I'm surprised PETA hasn't boycotted its reshowing.
