World-famous cartoons

The first world-famous cartoon is a matter of some debate and interpretation, as there have been many influential cartoons throughout history. However, some possible candidates for the first world-famous cartoon are:

1. "Gertie the Dinosaur" (1914): This animated short film by Winsor McCay is considered one of the first cartoons to feature a character with a distinct personality and a sense of humor.

2. "Steamboat Willie" (1928): This cartoon starring Mickey Mouse, created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, is often credited with launching the Disney empire and popularizing animation as a form of entertainment.

3. "Betty Boop" (1930): This character, created by animator Max Fleischer, was a popular symbol of the Jazz Age and helped to popularize the concept of the cartoon as a medium for adult audiences.

These are just a few examples of early influential cartoons that helped to shape the history of animation and entertainment.
