BS Animation in My Room

The zoetrope is a classic toy that makes still images appear to move, creating the illusion of a short film or animation. The device is built from individual pictures that appear in quick succession as it spins. Using the blank strips, you can draw your own images and bring them to life.

The zoetrope was invented in the 19th century and first appeared in England in 1834, later spreading to France and the United States. It is considered a forerunner of cinema and clearly shows how motion arises from single frames. The toy is especially suitable for children aged 6 and up who want to be creative and explore the basics of animation.
