Events in 1902 in animation.

## Events

[edit]

* Date uncertain - Nuremberg toy companies Gebrüder Bing and Ernst Plank were offering chromolithographed film loops for their toy kinematographs. The films were traced from live-action film footage.[1] The technique is a precursor of rotoscoping.

## Films released

[edit]

* April 3 - Fun in a Bakery Shop: Edwin S. Porter used stop-motion animation to depict clay loaves being sculpted into faces.[2] The film's plot was only the pretext of showcasing the skills of a fast sculptor.[3]
