Animation means making things which are lifeless come live and move. Since earliest times

, people have always been 【M1】______ fascinated by movement. And not until this century have we 【M2】______ managed to capture movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a 【M3】______ movie camera and a projector. In the world of cartoon animation, everything is impossible. You can make the characters you create 【M4】______ do exactly that you want them to do. A famous early cartoon 【M5】______ character was Felix the Cat, created Pat Sullivan in America in 【M6】______ the early nineteen twenties. Fedix was a marvelous cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat can do as taking off his tail, 【M7】______ using it as a handle and then putting it back. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characteristics came to life after 1928. Popeye 【M8】______ the Sailorman and his girl friend Olive Oyl were born at the Max Fleischer studios in 1933. But to be an animator, you dont have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film with using a camera at all. All that you have to 【M9】______ do is draw directly on a blank film and then running the film 【M10】______ through a projector.
