Fantasmagorie: The First Animated Film

Today, we’re adding to our collection of Free Online Movies a great little film by Emile Cohl, otherwise known as “The Father of the Animated Cartoon.” Made in 1908, Fantasmagorie stitched together 700 drawings, each double-exposed, creating the first fully animated film. Cohl made over?250 films between 1908 and 1923, of which 37 survive in film archives. And several –?Le cauchemar de Fantoche (1908) and?The Hasher’s Delirium (1910) – appear right here on YouTube.
