“Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.” These famous words spoken by Walt Disney perfectly describe how movie making and film has influenced entertainment throughout the course of history. Overtime, inventions have evolved and improved to enhance how movies are filmed and displayed to an audience. With developments like 3-D glasses and special effects it’s not that hard to wonder how and why film impacts the entertainment we have today. It is nearly impossible to claim that movie making hasn’t affected our entertainment, because movie making paved a new road for our entertainment to walk on, but like any other road this was one journey that faced a few bumps along the way. Throughout history film has developed to a great extent that you wouldn’t be able to recognize the first film tool from the 1800s.

For example, people started filming news channels, TV shows, animation shows, and so much more. The basic definition for movie is a form of entertainment or an art form. If we connect this definition with what movies are providing us today with, then we will see that movies, among other inventions based off of movies, have modernized and influenced our entertainment today. Simply put; movie making influenced a great deal of our entertainment, because of what it inspired us to create today.
When you think of how long we have had movies, it seems as if they have been around everlastingly.
