In case you have encounter zoetrope for the first time, Zoetrope is one of the pre-film animation devices. It is a combination of Greek word zoe (life) and tropos (turning) which translates as ‘wheel of life’.
Zoetrope create the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings, photographs or shapes (as seen above) depicting the individual phases of that motion placed in a rotation.
Zoetrope was invented by Frenchman Émile Reynaud in 1876.
