Eli5: how did animation work before computers?

716 views

Did people literally just draw thousands of pictures that looked almost identical and then they stitched them together, like a flip book? How did they do it, and how was it even remotely cost-effective and worth the effort?

Yes, people drew pictures by hand. They also wrote letters by hand too. Computers didn’t exist for most of history.
