Viewing Notes

Taking a break from my daily praxinoscope for a bona fide turn of the century short film. I really don’t understand how something like this has a 40 percent rating on TMDb. Even if these kinds of short films from Chomon, Melies and others were plentiful at the time, it’s still a marvel of movie magic.
