Mechanisms for producing artificially created, two-dimensional images in motion were
demonstrated as early as the 1860s, with devices such as the zoetrope and the praxinoscope.
These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns) and would
display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to
appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally, the images needed
to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect — and the underlying principle became
the basis for the development of film animation.

Motion pictures were purely visual art up to the late 19th century, but these innovative silent
films had gained a hold on the public imagination. Around the turn of the twentieth century,
films began developing a narrative structure by stringing scenes together to tell narratives

In the United States today, much of the film industry is centered around Hollywood. Other
regional centers exist in many parts of the world, such as Mumbai-centered Bollywood, the
Indian film industry's Hindi cinema which produces the largest number of films in the world.
