Animation Films
207 films in the animation genre, all public domain and free to watch.
Animation in the public domain covers the golden age of theatrical shorts and the first wave of television cartoons. Most of what is here was made before 1970, when studios like Warner Bros., Fleischer, and Van Beuren were turning out shorts on weekly schedules. A lot of these cartoons entered the public domain through missing or defective copyright notices, which was common in the era before the 1976 Copyright Act tightened the rules. The collection includes industrial and educational animation too, much of it made for government agencies and schools, which was never copyrighted at all.
