Fantasmagorie

Imagine for a moment what it meant for people at the time to see this.\ Today, to our eyes this film may seem like a mere short without value, lasting a tik tok video; but for those who crossed the threshold of the cinema more than a century ago to see these two minutes of animated images, this film represented the progress; images that move with a life of their own. Something that until recently was unthinkable was now becoming reality before their eyes. There are so many pages of history behind this film and so many blank pages that have yet to be filled.\ In short, this is not just any animated short, but the work of those who have had the tenacity and the ardor to do something that no one else has done before, to do the Animation.
