The Brainstorm Toys Zoetrope brings 19th-century animation to life. This classic toy uses a spinning drum and slotted viewing window to turn still pictures into moving scenes. It comes with 18 printed animation strips and 6 blank strips for drawing your own. A secret code unlocks online material about the zoetrope's history and the science behind moving images.

How does the Zoetrope work?

Place a strip of images inside the drum, spin it, and look through the slots. The rapid succession of pictures creates the illusion of movement—a principle called the phi phenomenon. This same idea underpins modern film and animation.

What's included in the box?

  • Zoetrope drum and base
  • 18 pre-printed animation strips
  • 6 blank strips for custom drawings
  • Secret code for online content

Who is this toy for?

Designed for curious minds aged 6 and up. It's a hands-on way to explore how animation works, making it a hit in classrooms, science kits, and family playtime.

Can you draw your own animations?

Yes. The six blank strips let you create original sequences. Draw each frame in order, place the strip in the zoetrope, and watch your drawings move.

What does the secret code unlock?

The included code gives access to online information about the zoetrope's history, the phi phenomenon, and how this 19th-century invention influences filmmaking today.
