- Animation toy zootrope (or zoetrope). One of several pre-film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion. It was especially popular in the Victorian era. Before this toy kaleidoscope, thaumatrope and phenakistiscope were invented, and after praxinoscope.
- The praxinoscope was an animation device, the successor to the zoetrope. Like the zoetrope, it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder. The praxinoscope improved on the zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors, placed so that the reflections of the pictures appeared more or less stationary in position as the wheel turned. Someone looking in the mirrors would therefore see a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion, with a brighter and less distorted picture than the zoetrope offered. In addition to the zoetrope, the opening of this toy was preceded by thaumatrope and phenakistiscope.
