Fantasmagorie















If you haven't seen this - WATCH IT!

It is the first animation film, made in 1908 by Emile Cohl. It contains a number of sequences of things metamorphisising into other things, and is very funny and entertaining. Just like Melies', 'A trip to the moon', I think anyone should be able to watch it and be entertained, and if not entertained, I would hope that they can at least appreciated it for what it is. The founding of animation as we know it today. An animation 100 years old should be enough to entice any viewer. It really is a wonderful experience to see this film.
