Magical early animation
12 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the first animations ever made, and considering that it was made in 1892, is quite well made.

The story is quite too simple, which character from the Italian "Commedia dell'arte" (Harlequin, Pierrot and Colombina) but the most impressive thing about this is the technique, with may look quite too simple for this days, but it still has the magic and charm from the first film of the history of cinema.

Just like the other film from Émile Reynaud that I've seen "Autour d'une cabine", I think that every fan of animation should give a look at this, considering that this is one of the very first of his kind.
