Good morning Okanagan! Let’s get your Friday and weekend started!
Fun Fact: The first animated movie wasn’t made by Disney or even in North America.
It was made in 1917 in Argentina.
Here's some production material from the first feature length Animated Movie El Apóstol by Quirino Cristiani (1917) which was a political film that satirized Argentinian president Hipólito Yrigoyen
