  "description": "Animation creates the illusion of motion through sequential images. History: flip books → traditional hand-drawn (Disney, 1920s+) → stop-motion (clay, puppets) → CGI (Pixar's Toy Story, 1995, first fully CGI feature) → modern hybrid. Disney's 12 principles of animation (Thomas & Johnston, 1981) remain foundational.",
