Walt Disney was the man who kick started the commercial purpose of animations, this can be seen in his early work such as the 'Skeleton Dance' and 'Steam Boat Willie'.
The Skeleton Dance was quite unique as Disney created the video as a response to the music that was played, it could be regarded as one of the first music videos.
Aleksandr Ptushko's Novyy Gulliver also known as the new Gulliver was an entire stop motion mixed with live action, film created in 1929 that used tracking shots.
Ladislaw Starewicz created stop motion animations such as the tale of the fox in 1930, which took 10 years to make. The animation is beautiful through how smooth the movements of the characters are and needs to be considered as a work of art.
Many animators find Starewicz's work influential and have created their own take on his work, creating their own interpretation.
Max Fleischer created cartoons such as Betty Boop and Pop eye using a traditional pose to pose process, however Betty Boo was an outrageous character through the suggestions of the character taking drugs and nudity that was incorporated into the animation, which was eventually censored. The animation style however shuddered at places through a few transitions of movement.
Willis O'Brien created the stop motion King Kong which is considered to be one of the most defining moments of film. It has been remade and interpreted many times and is a huge inspiration for many animators and film makers.
In 1935, Oskat Fischinger created the animation named 'Komposition in Blau' which used mix media to portray the contextual background and atmosphere of the piece. The art of the animation was persuaded by Nazis and was regarded as pathetic and degenerate. Fischinger didn't agree with the Nazi belief and moved to America where he was welcomed and worked for Disney.
Len lye created an animation named 'Colour Box' in 1935-36 which incorporated different media and he spent his entire life trying to animate movement. With in his work he used direct animation which involved the artist to directly create each frame as he then filmed it. He was known for his postal service advertisement which became dynamic and responsive to the work ethics of the postal service.
In 1937 Disney created Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, one of his first big budget films that had over 1000 people working on it and spent over $1,000,000 on costs. The main animation technique used was rotoscoping, which an animator trace movement and footage, frame by frame.
