J Stuart Blackton, 1906 animated the first cartoon, "Humorous Phases Of Funny Faces" using chalkboard sketches and then cut-outs to simplify the process,  words & faces come alive, drawn by an unseen hand

"Colonel Heeza Liar In Africa" Nov. of 1913,  is the first  cartoon shown in a movie theatre, it's the first commercial release, as it was neither part of  a vaudeville act or a one time endeavor. It was the start of a film series. A turning point in animation history

The Rotoscope was invented by Max 

Fleischer in 1915, who used it in his series "Out Of The Inkwell". Its a device that enables animators to trace the movement of live actors, frame by frame, into an animation sequence.

The First color cartoon was "The Adventures Of Thomas Cat" by J.R. Bray  in 1917, using the 2 color Baxster process, the emulsion was printed on both side of the film, The process was too expensive and was abandoned
