Get ready to celebrate International Animation Day on October 28th! This special day was created in 2002 by ASIFA (Association Internationale du Film d'Animation) to recognize the art of animation and its importance in film, television, gaming, and other forms of entertainment. From traditional drawings to 3D computer graphics - animation has come a long way since it began over 100 years ago. So let's get creative this year and come up with some new ideas for our favorite animated characters!
