The Flipbook Museum’s collection of over 1500 unique, thumb-powered motion pictures began in 1987 with two double-sided Disney animation flipbooks featuring Mickey Mouse’s impeccable command of a deck of cards. Since then, the collection has grown to include the crude and sublime, beer ads and Papal blessings, Cracker Jack prizes and Pop Art masterpieces.

It is the Flipbook Museum’s goal to bring the joys of kinetic art to audiences of all ages through human-propelled animation. We have brought the wonders of flipbooks to thousands through our workshops and lectures, preserving an old technique that still packs plenty of wonder.
