J. Stuart Blackton's "Humorous Phases of Funny Faces" is released in 1906 as the world's first animated cartoon.

Humorous Phases of Funny Faces is a 1906 short silent animated cartoon directed by James Stuart Blackton that is widely recognised as the first animated film recorded on standard picture film by cinema historians. Animated hand-drawn pictures on a blackboard emerge throughout the cartoon, featuring a clown toying with a hat and a dog jumping through a hoop. However, the cartoonist's hands are included in the beginning when he paints the first few lines on the whiteboard in typical live action.
