How were some old cartoons sold on film?

The nature of film would require it to be exposed similar to a camera. So I don’t understand how you could put something that is a drawing/animation onto film. Thanks.

Wow. Really.
Ok well to make an animation you draw a picture, put it into a light jig with a camera attached. You expose a few frames then change the drawing (like opening a mouth or moving s leg) then expose a few more frames and then Repeat till done.

I guess I also have to explain movies to you.
If you pass one frame in front of a light source and the move that frame anywhere between 24 and 30 frames per second you will get something called persistence of vision. POV is a trick your brain does to stitch together those individual frames to look like motion. Now why don’t you go look up Edward Muybridge and his experiement with race horses.
