Absolutely ancient French animation from over 120 years ago in which a horny French geezer gets cock-blocked by a ponce who loves to play hide and seek.

Amazing that it still survives but of no great interest today.

And so, France breaks filmed boundaries for the very first time: five hundred individually painted images put together to create the illusion of 4-minute motion in the first animated film (having lasted originally around 15 minutes): paper-like characters created in hundreds of sheets of glass. The hand painted color is beautiful. For the huge landmark it is, my biggest issue was the inconsistency of the backgrounds, and this is totally independent from its age. Particularly when the wall door opens, the background does not match, and the dress of the woman is visibly juxtaposed with the background as well. Good use of close-ups in order to give a focus and concentrate on a particular sight or action.

Simplistic in its storyteling (we finally have some!), this is one gorgeous historical treasure to behold.

The first animation? Historically very interesting. Also, this is the earliest actual story in a film that I have seen. This gets above 3 minutes and is very much worth checking out for the historical value.

Movies From 1874-1895: boxd.it/1FQOE

comforting to know in the first animated cartoon they were trying to secure some pussy.

1892...??!!! WOW...!! Its quite a sweet short actually...

Kind of surprising to know that one of the first animated shorts was about a woman's side dude trying to stop the main one from getting laid.

Considered one of the first animated films, Emile Reynaud made this in 1892 and it consisted of around 500 individual paintings and it originally was 15 minutes long. Eventually it was restored at around 5 minutes long. Definitely worth checking out on YouTube.

where did he come from where did he go, where did you come from pauvre pierrot

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK HOW DID HE DO THIS

so this was friendzone in XIX century....

Toons from 1892

the virgin pierrot vs. the chad harlequin

A pretty grim reflection on humanity I'm general that the very first animated film will forever be about a guy getting lightspeed horny and drinking to drown his sorrows

Not so different you and I

Also sweet Jesus that music is bad

Not quite the first animated film (that would be Reynaud's The Musician Monkey, 1878), but the first to sustain a narrative, as far as I am aware. Very clever -- another "Pierrot Le Fou."

sendo uma produção de 1800, Reynaud  revoluciona a produção audiovisual e apresenta um espetáculo com uma nova técnica

considerando o contexto da época é sensacional

nice to see some storytelling finally but Oh My God was this boring

I know this is from 1892, but the animation isn’t very good.

Well golly gee, there ya have it! The first movie made that I can say I genuinely like. Maybe this is just because I'm fatigued from watching glorified gifs for like 2 hours, but I liked this! The animation was dope, and there was actually a story. This was really cute and I liked it!

The first full length animated cartoon, it's surprising to almost immediately hear music, have a functioning plotline around pranking another lover, and to have a unique animation style (which I guess would be the FIRST animation style). Unfortunately all we have is a restoration, as the original was 15 minutes long (the one I found on the web clocked at a measly 4). It's a very ambitious presentation of animated film, having characters occupying one setting so as to save time on art (as every image was individually painted). The comedy to wrap it around with a neat little bow brings a smile to my face that this happy and fun presentation would be how animation as a medium would start.

poor pierrot lmao
