  • @OminousHaze Oh, I shat my pants too. Those god damn pictures are moving,

  • I liked how it brought you into the scene, then brought you back to reality by reminding you that it was all on a chalk board!

  • Many animation fans don't know it, but this is practically their holy Grail.

    Tee hee, look at the clown!

  • i bet this guy thought he was real slick 100 years ago. what does he know about adobe?

  • Fun fact: The creator, J. Stuart Blackton was a newspaper cartoonist and this is the first-known attempt at animation, It was the first cartoon to use the single frame method of stop-motion photography and it plays at 20 frames per second.

    Back then the sound track was not "attached" to the film. Instead the films were shipped with sheet music for a pianist to play in the theater. So the sound we are hearing was either played by youtube employs and they attempted to make it sound aged or it was added to the film at some other point probably in the 70's if I had to guess.

  • add &vintage=1911to your URL and it makes it better :)

  • I can't imagine how difficult it was to produce frame-by-frame animation in that time.
