Jumping Goat, 3000 BC Persia (5000+ years ago!)

This may be the world's oldest surviving example of animation.
A jumping goat is painted on a vase, and when the vase is rotated, it appears to move. The vase was dedicated to the Goddess Murkum, and found in Persia in 1970. (obviously the sound track was added by someone). Here's more textual info:

Thanks for the nomination and tip!
I saw the goat vase a while ago and thought it was really neat. I've always liked animation, and the idea of someone doing this type of advanced art back then blew me away. It was back when Stonhenge was nothing more than a circular ditch with wooden posts, the Greeks were discovering bronze, Troy was being built and China was discovering the pottery wheel. Amazing!

hahaha! This is one of the old cartoons I know, aside from popeye. Most of the people I know nowadays don't know him so I assume he is old. :) I just started to know him when I play family computer games when I was small

The first animated cartoon (in the traditional sense, i.e. on film) was "Fantasmagorie" by the French director Émile Cohl. Released in 1908.

One of the very first successful animated cartoons was "Gertie the Dinosaur" by Winsor McCay. It is considered the first example of true character animation.
