 The year 1921 marked the production of the first Romanian animated film, more precisely of the first Romanian animated cartoon, conceived by Aurel Petrescu and called "Păcală pe lună" ("Păcală on the moon").Surprisingly, all the animated films of this director and artist, which he was producing into the sound era, are lost.Showing foresight, Aurel Petrescu created an album with about 80 stills, today owned by the A.N.F.
