Everytime I walk pass Hove Museum & Art Gallery (19 New Church Road), I can't help but visit the second floor and observe the fascinating Zoetropes, Phenakistoscope, Thaumatrope and Praxinoscope. Amazing objects from the 1800 that show us some animation principles

Here is the biggest zoetrope in the world - Guinness World Record - Sony BRAVIA-drome:

I would like to mention, the modern take on the traditional zoetrope, recently released by Pixar with Toy Story characters:

Cada vez que paso por  El Museo y Galería de Arte de Hove, no puedo evitar ir al segundo piso, y ver los fascinantes Zoótropos, Phenakistoscope, Thaumatrope y Praxinoscope. Unos objetos impresionantes del 1800, de los que podemos aprender algunos principios de la animación.

Este es el zoótropo más grande del mudo -Record Mundial Guinness- Sony BRAVIA-drome:
