♪ You're right,Squeaks;this one is a classic.
But did you know that the best part of cartoons takes place inside your brain?
Cartoons like these are made of a bunch of drawings.
When you show those drawings one after another,super fast, they look like they're really moving!
That's called an animation.
But they're not really alive,or moving around — it's an illusion, a little trick that you can play on your brain.
And today Squeaks and I are going to make our very own version of this trick,called a zoetrope.
If we spin all these drawings together really fast,they just look like a blur.
That's why our zoetrope is going to have slits,which are little holes.
We'll see each drawing through the slit, and then see a black space after each one.
