Abstract: The common misunderstanding about animation is discussed in this article. The majority of individuals, around 95%, associate animation with CARTOONS. However, this is untrue. I agree that there was a period when animation was primarily used for producing animated films, but that over time, animation has expanded its reach into nearly all industries. From the entertainment industry, which encompasses movies, advertisements, television shows, and music, to other fields such as medicine, architecture, education, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and more, you can discover animation everywhere. “The Father of Animation” is how Emile Cohl, a French animator and cartoonist, is frequently known. The 1908 movie Fantasmagorie, sometimes referred to as the first entirely animated picture, is Cohl’s best-known work. The Father of Indian Animation” is how Ram Mohan, an Indian animator, design educator, and title designer, is known. The Father of Indian Animation is somewhat contentious, as some claim it is Dada Saheb Phalke.
