From the first film to feature sound to the first music song ever recorded, we’ve gone back and compiled an array of breakthroughs and innovations that have led the way to help shape the way our world is and acts today.

FILM The first film with sound The first full film to feature sound was 'The Jazz Singer', which launched late October in 1927, using 'Vitaphone', which at the time was at the forefront of film technology. The first film in colour Several films fight for this crown, but the first full film, albeit it silent, to feature colour throughout was 'Cupid Angling' in 1918. The first film full length computer animated film Created completely using computer generated imagery, Toy Story made history in 1995. The film later went on to earn over $361 million worldwide and is still heavily regarded as one of the most iconic animated films of all time.
