International Animation Day is celebrated on October 28, commemorating the 1892 Paris show by Émile Reynaud, which laid animation's foundation. Today, animation spans various media beyond children's entertainment, including cinema, advertising, and online content. ASIFA promotes this day as a celebration of animation as an art form and cultural expression, with events held in over 50 countries. The 2026 poster, created by Yoriko Mizushiri, symbolizes the continuity and evolution of animation techniques across generations. Animation is recognized as a versatile medium that can convey diverse themes, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers.
