Topic > Cinema in the 20th Century - 1778

“Cinema was invented in the 1890s. During the first decade of cinema's existence, inventors worked to improve machines for producing and showing films." From the moment films began to be made, inventors were already trying to advance the industry and improve the machines used to produce these films; this demonstrates the determination and imagination of the inventors of the machines used in the films. The brilliant films that are produced all over the world today would not have had a chance of being worth anything if the producers and inventors of the late 19th century had not been as driven and determined as they were. Without the invention of phonofilm and the vitaphone, of Technicolor and Eastmancolor, and without Walt Disney's introduction of CGI animation, today's films would be stuck in the late 19th century: short, bland, and silent. As the brilliant Walt Disney once said: "You can design, create and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."".
