/PanARMENIAN.Net/ International Animation Day is celebrated each year
on October 28

On October 28th, 1892, a French inventor Emile Reynaud (1844-1918)
made the first public performance of animation at the Grevin Museum
in Paris, using his own invention "optical theater".

In 2002, ASIFA (The International Animated Film Association) decided
to celebrate this historic day as "International Animation Day",
aiming to promote and develop animation art all over the world.

In 2004, many of the ASIFA National Groups started to hold the
celebration on and around October 28th, as a simultaneous manifestation
in various countries.
