Something I've always wondered about. We all know the Snow white and the seven dwarves was the first feature length animated movie ever made. But something I've always wondered. What was the first animated feature length movie....by another company?

Snow White was the first cel-animation movie, which came out in 1937. People call it the first feature length animation because it's a cel-animation piece (that style being in the majority). When people think of animation, they think of cel-animation before any other style.

My personal favorite, a German movie called The Adventures of Prince Achmed, came out in 1926 and was made using paper cutouts.

As other's have said, El Apóstol is quite possibly the very first feature length animated movie. But with it and Sin Dejar Rastros (1918) considered to be lost films, the oldest one you can actually get is Prince Achmed. Which is on Amazon for like $20.

It depends on how you define "animation". A few early filmmakers made some ingenious movies using stop-motion on live human actors. I saw one dating back to...oh, let's see...I think it was around 1909 or 1910...in which a man arrives at a motel very late and tired..but when he tries to hit the hay, the mattress disappears. And when he sits up, it reappears and he clonks himself. Finally, he hits the hay and is wrapped up in his sheets, only to have the bed climb up the wall, out the window and up onto the roof, where the poor guy wakes up and...

Nope. I rented it about fifteen years ago, and it was one of a series of anthologies, collecting the oldest surviving movies or movie clips ever made (they started around 1903). I'll go through my notes and see if I can find the name for you, but it may take a while...
