Why are people rating this? Has anybody aged under 110 seen this?

Impossible for me to find anywhere, let me know if there’s a link to see this.

great art n stuff but it would have been 99.9% more satisfying if the dog actually jumped through the hoop on the second time around

this movie is probably older than guns

Only two of Reynaud’s Theatre Optique shows are still in partial existence. I believe in a fit of agony he tossed the majority of his work into the Seine. I presume he followed this up with lots of heavy drinking. He died in a hospice, without a cent to his name.

Impressive for it's time but it's still pretty boring

I was the clown all along for thinking I would be able to find half of these films.

It's hard to do a review of historical pieces or even to rate them. For me, they are all 5 stars, but more for a historical look into rather than from a quality (by today standards or many other standards) point of view.

Lost, though you can find a small sketch made for the film online.

first animation go brrrrr

This one was hard to find, and not worth the effort.

An 1892 French short animated film, Le Clown et ses chiens was directed by Emile Reynaud. It was the second film that Reynaud made for his Theatre Optique, after Un bon bock.

The film showed a clown entering a circus ring and greeting the audience, before he starts to perform tricks with three dogs. The dogs jump through hoops, walk on a ball and jump over a wand.

Reynaud gave the presentation himself manipulating the images, accompanied by Gaston Paulin on the piano. Sadly, no footage of this film could be found due to Reynaud throwing all of his films except for a partial of Pauvre Pierrot and Autour D'une Gabine. Reynaud threw his works into the Seine river in 1900.

Heard this one is lost.

i actually liked this

Real interesting, but they move like habo hotel characters

Watched insofar as it is available to watch: as a single picture of a sketch from the director, who threw most of his movies into the Seine when he was bummed out one time.

first animation go brrrrr

Jokes aside this is actually pretty impressive for one dude in 1892.

This one was hard to find, and not worth the effort.

Me and my dogs

All those dogs are dead now :(

Basically lost to time, but giving this three stars because of dogs, not five stars because of clowns.
