The first animated feature film was El Apostol (1917), made in Argentina. Unfortunately, no copies of the film survive today.
Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was the first full-length animated feature in American cinema history. It was a massive risk at the time, but it became a huge success and launched the Disney empire.
Today, animated films regularly earn over one billion dollars at the box office, proving that cartoons are beloved by audiences of all ages worldwide.
