[London667568]

From this to Beowulf and Avatar in only 100 years. Can you imagine a hundred years into the future...

[topheronline]

cool



[Buyse]

This is too fast played. In the beginning, the rate of frames per second was 16.

In Europe today, this is 24 en US 30. Looking at it, feels like it is played at 24 of 30 and not the original speed. Maybe I'm wrong, but let us discuss about it :)

[gregbails4]

[BlueSabb]

I can't believe nobody has commented on this since it turned 100 years old. I'm mostly surprised that he shows his hands, breaking the fourth wall in one of the first cartoons.

[EMPPT]

Simple but very nice.

[ColombianForLife]

Ha! look at that.... very cool to be from 1908! Cheer up to movie pioneers!

[Omicron91]

Wow, the first animated film. Pretty impressive how far animation has come in one hundred and one years.

[y318]

Beautiful, I think iit would be better if it included some music.

[Televishone]

Anyone else think of E-Pro when they saw that?

[monsierpipi]

I LOVE THIS!

[LordShagrath]

[jacobleereed]

Wow, 100 years old!

[fmfanatic]

Cool! I love watching these old animations! And thanks for sharing the little historical tidbits too -- I would never have known that wasn't actually a chalk drawing!

[BinglesI]

Animation; 100 this year!

[danielchance]

one hundred years of cartoons.... wow, thank you for putting this up

[Edgtheow]

In August the 17th will be exactly 100 years since this interesting cartoon was made.

[gently5210]

Now its 100 :)

Today i read in some magazine an article about it and found it by accident.What a coincidence

[josephdust]

Oh yeah, I think his face is pointed like a pencil

[josephdust]

Does anyone know of another cartoon with a character that has a long face. It starts where he gets drawn, looks over himself to see how he looks and then follows a line being drawn as he walks? If I remember right he falls off at the end.

[jrodarz]

very impressive

[markocska94]

It's pretty good for a first animated cartoon.

[Pokedude45]

now its 100 years of cartoons!

reply posted 2008

[niborainqc]

[Romka1989]

[mmb101]

[pensta]

Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vincent6AM]

Seems this Émile Cohl was ahead of his time.

[15951b]

[richragsdale]

so much charm

funny - the characters remind me of chris ware's stuff

[isry1997]

i love aniamtion whaen i grow up i what to work for pixare and this is 1908 WOW!

[azqrlaf]

You can find more about Emil Cohl in the book "Before Mickey".

[THEIRONCLAYMAN]

i think it was the first animation ever made

[HauAs]

Thank you!

[arda2006]

thank you! you helped me doing my term paper

[ATYactress]

lolz same here

[42111]

sweet

[SamSaxonCore]

Thank you so much for putting this up! I too am doing an essay on animation...

Wow, animation 100 next year.

[herpybobo]

Animation is older than 100 now! :D

[EFFANDJEFF]

Nope. Animation's older than that.

Two years before this, J Stuart Blackton made Humorous Phases of Funny Faces. And 14 years before that, Charles Emile Reynaud projected the first animation with his Theater Optique.

[Fyrzon]

@SamSaxonCore Damn, a 3 year old comment? It's kinda cute actually... I look back on it and I'm like "Aw... those silly past selves!"

Lol!

[semo2010]

@SamSaxonCore it's 103 now. I wonder if there are people who are alive today who's life spanned the entire length of the modern history of animation ?

[RayPointer]

The comment that this was done on chalk is incorrect. First of all, it is impossible to animate with this much accuracy in chalk. Cohl animated on paper and the white line effect was the result of using a "negative reverse" changing the black line on paper to white on black.

[mikeyman211]

so am i to believe that the hand was completely blacked out then?

[Draconis888]

Actually, Stuart Blackton animated a film, "Humerous phases of Funny Faces" 2 years prior on a chalkboard.

[ThePsydome]

@RayPointer Actually choll painted directly onto film with black ink. The white is obviously from the negative reverse from having been painted directly onto the negative.

[LynxCoding]

@RayPointer Your comment was made 4 years ago yet I can see it here lol cool.

[HarleyQuinnRogue]

@RayPointer The desctiption states "Cohl makes his animations appear to be chalk drawings".

[TheIggiot]

I once made a research about the history of animation and I read about Fantasmagorie -and its role in it- but I never thought I would actually watch it. Thank you very much.

[yudany]

Thanks for posting this. I am just starting to get interested in early animation, so i had never seen this. I see some influences of this on Winsor McCay (i am guessing here, judging by dates).

[doodlerific]

Emile cohl, the "The Father of the Animated Cartoon", came just before McCay.

[RedLightBulbs]

I believe J. Stuart Blackton beat both of them to the honor of the first animator though.

[Photoloi]

and J.Stuart Blackton with "humorous phases of funny faces"?

[classiccartoon]

You'll have to search the web for it... I've had it sitting on my computer for ages!!

[oosvn]

hey they is another cohl's animation i have heard with characters of a policeman, a jealous lover n a girl.

i donno d name. but i read about it in the book animation survival kit. in case u have it plz upload
