Walt Disney Mettoy Viewer c. 1960
The first Movie Viewer was made in the USA in 1973 by Fisher Price. The British version was made by the Mettoy company. The viewer used Super 8 film and the actual clips were short pieces from real cartoon films. No technology was required to operate the viewer, not even batteries. The hand crank enabled the operator to view the film at any speed with the ability to go forwards or backwards at will.
