@thangQanime Dickson Experimental Sound Film from 1894-1895 says hi.

I wish they added 5 more seconds to this to complete the fade out at the end. Then it would be perfect.

@theultimatekoopa2 Are you crazy? That music was added way the fuck after the movie was made. There was no damn sound editing in 1895, you mad man!

I wonder if Terry Gilliam was inspired by this.

1894 was the year my paternal great grandfather was born.

@Perlinator67 Actually there's "Humorous Phases of Funny Faces" from 1906 that's animated (you can watch it here on YouTube and check more info on IMDB).

Now, like @njetblaj said, the description says this is a praxinoscope.

wonderful

@Perlinator67 According to the description, it is a praxinoscope, so technically not a film, but it might very well be from 1894. Look it up on Wikipedia.

@Perlinator67 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CARTOONS IN RED DEAD REDEMPTION? ARE YOU SAYING MY VIDEO GAMES ARE HISTORICALLY INACCURATE? D:
