What is International Animation Day?
International Animation Day on October 28 was proclaimed by the International Animated Film Association (ASIFA) in 2002, marking the anniversary of the first public performance of Émile Reynaud's Theatre Optique in Paris in 1892 — the moment projected animation first stepped in front of an audience. The day celebrates animators and the art form across every style and continent.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
