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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delirious two-minute rush of anarchic pen-and-ink metamorphoses where reality bends to pure imagination; a document of cinema's wildest, most liberating infancy.
