This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long while. The illusion of life is perfect, I love the fact that the insects only do what they realistically could if they set their mind to it. I watch it and all I can do is admire what a nice little show those marvelous creatures have put together.
I've watched this a dozen times today, and I simply cannot get enough of that cycling cockroach.
I want to see a video of people reactions to those animations in the 20's

Brilliant! I love the proscenium frame that the show takes place in- complete with rolldrops and curtains!

Thank you very much for posting this!
Erikbjo, is the music originally part of the film? Am I correct in understanding that Bug Vaudeville is the director, and McCay is the animator?
