Celebrated globally every year on October 28, International Animation Day commemorates the historic public debut of Charles-Émile Reynaud’s Théâtre Optique in Paris in 1892, marking the birth of projected moving animations. Established in 2002 by ASIFA (the International Animated Film Association) with UNESCO’s backing, the day honors the artistry, innovation, and cultural impact of animators worldwide. It is observed through international film screenings, festivals, workshops, and the release of custom-designed commemorative posters, celebrating animation not merely as entertainment, but as a powerful, universal medium for artistic expression and storytelling.
