Art/Literary / (animation) film
English term or phrase: zootrope
The zootrope
The fundamental principles of animation are present in this giant zootrope: each drawing is slightly altered with regard to the previous and the drawings follow each other in quick succession. The human eye connects automatically the drawings, which remain on the retina a fraction of a second, thus creating the illusion of mouvement.

Lebensrad
Explanation:
"Eine andere Bewegungserfahrung vermittelt das "Lebensrad" (Zootrope). Anders als beim Daumenkino fängt die Trommel oder Scheibe nach einer Umdrehung wieder von vorne an. So entstehen zwangsweise Bewegungszyklen. Auch damit lassen sich keine Geschichten erzählen aber die Bilder können hier das Laufen lernen. Folgende Bewegungszyklen eignen sich für die Darstellung im Lebensrad:. Der hüpfende Ball. Ein sprechender, küssender Mund. Augen, die sich öffnen und schließen. Eine (auf der Stelle!) gehende , hüpfende, turnende Figur"

Grüße,

Nikolaus

zoetrope


Explanation:
Ich kenne das nur als "zoetrope" (ist, glaube ich, auch der Name der Filmgesellschaft von Fancis Ford Copolla).
Ich habe folgende Beschreibung finden können:

"Zoetrope

Originally called the "Wheel of the Devil," the zoetrope is a moving image machine that was invented in the 1830s. In the 1860s, it was manufactured and marketed to the public. It was then that it was given the name zoetrope, from the Greek zoa (living things) and trope (turning).
Zoetropes were extremely popular forms of entertainment for both children and adults in the Victorian era.

A zoetrope is a cylinder with vertical slits cut into the sides. A band of pictures fits inside. As the cylinder is spun, the images appear to move when viewed through the slits. Like the thaumatrope and the flipbook, the zoetrope also works on the principle of persistence of vision.

The band of pictures that fits inside the cylinder is called a zoetrope strip. It consists of a series of images, each of which is slightly different from the one before it."

Ich würde es nicht übersetzen (darüberhinaus weiß jemand vom Fach genau, was gemeint ist).

Andere optische Spielzeuge, die mehr oder weniger die Anfänge unseres heutigen Kinos waren, sind das Daumenkino, Traumatrope und Phenakitiskop.

Hope this helps
