Directed by Émile Cohl
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
An animated film by French auteur Émile Cohl, one of the earliest examples of hand-drawn film animation. Drawing inspiration from J. Stuart Blackton and the Incoherents of club Hydropathes, the film, with all its wild transformations, sees our protagonist materialize a movie theatre, meet an elephant and escape from jail; A morphing, stream-of-consciousness delight.

Viewing Notes
Said to be the first animated short film. If I had a time travel machine I’d go back to when this (and other films) were originally shown to audiences to see their reaction.
