The first recorded instance of a stop motion animation was in 1897 and it was called The Humpty Dumpty Circus, in which a toy circus of animals and acrobats come to life. A French film maker called Georges Méliès created a stop motion animation to produce moving title-card letters for one of his short films. In 1912 Italian animator Roméo Bossetti impressed audiences with his object animation, The Automatic Moving Company.

More well known uses of stop motion in film is by animator Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen. Willis' work on The Lost World (1925) is well known, but he is most well known for his work on King Kong (1933). Ray was learning from Willis how to do animation in film whilst Willis was working on the film Mighty Joe Young (1949). After that Ray would go on to create classic films such as It Came From Beneath The Ocean (1955), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974) and Clash Of The Titans (1981).
