I've always had an interest in the history of animation, and I came across this-the oldest surviving animated film, from 1892.
It's charming, but I also get a strange, sad feeling watching it. I think it's partially due to its age, and partially due to the fact that its creator wound up financially ruined by the growing popularity of live-action films.
I love sharing this kind of thing with others. Movies are something we take completely for granted, and I think it's so important to look at their roots.
