Watch The Idea, the First Animated Film to Deal with Big, Philosophical Ideas (1932)

"The Idea first emerged as a wordless novel in 1920, drawn by Frans Masereel. Masereel, a close friend of Dadaist and New Objectivist artist George Grosz, had created a stark, black-and-white story about the indomitable nature of ideas. Employing thick, aggressive lines obtained through woodcut printing, Masereel depicted a conservative political order's fight against the birth of a new idea, which eventually flourished in spite of the establishment's relentless attempts to suppress it."
