Thanks to Tom Sito we learned that on this date in 1914, Earl Hurd patented animation ‘cels’ (celluloids) and backgrounds. Before this cartoonists tried drawing the background settings over and over again hundreds of times or slashed the paper around the character and tried not to have it walk in front of anything. By the late 1990’s, most cels & cel paint had been replaced by digital imaging.

Looks like you haven't made a choice yet.
I heard that Cartoon Colour Company is still making those animation papers and cels too. P.S. Do you think that future animators , someday that need to give hand drawn animation and cels a second chances?
Yes, we believe that 2D animation will continue into the future. Check out Bill Plympton’s work as an example. http://www.Plymptoons.com.
