ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

International Animation Day

International Animation Day is like a birthday party for all the cartoons in the world. People who love cartoons and animations celebrate it every year on October 28 to show how much they enjoy watching cartoons and to appreciate the hard work done by the talented artists who create them.

You know how your favorite cartoon character moves and talks on TV? That happens because a group of artists draw or use special computer programs to make them come to life on the screen. It takes a lot of creativity, skill, and patience to create these amazing animations that we love to watch.

On International Animation Day, people organize events to showcase different types of animations from all around the world. There are screenings of cartoons in cinemas, exhibitions of artwork, workshops to teach kids how to make their own animations, and many other fun activities.

So, on this special day, let's celebrate our love for animations and thank the artists who make them possible for bringing joy and fun into our lives. Happy International Animation Day!
