Cartoon
Cartoons are pure joy distilled into lines, colors, and motion.
From the bouncy rubber-hose antics of the 1920s to the bold, limitless worlds of today’s digital animation, cartoons have spent a century making us laugh, think, dream, and feel—often all in the same 7-minute short.
Their story begins far earlier than most people realize. The word “cartoon” comes from the Italian cartone—a large sheet of paper used by Renaissance masters as full-scale preparatory sketches for frescoes, paintings, and tapestries. Centuries later, those same big sheets became the weapon of choice for 18th- and 19th-century satirists: sharp, witty political cartoons that could criticize kings and governments more powerfully than any pamphlet. With a single exaggerated stroke, artists exposed hypocrisy and sparked debate.
Today, cartoons are more diverse and vibrant than ever: hand-drawn warmth, slick CGI spectacles, stop-motion charm, web-born indie gems, and everything in between. They can be silly, profound, satirical, educational, or purely entertaining—yet they all share that miraculous ability to say big things with simple, bold lines and exaggerated expressions that connect instantly with kids and grown-ups alike.
