“That'll do it... The Rube is disintegrating into the aether as he types this message. Here be his final offering- the oldest surviving animated film, a stop-motion made from paper cutouts in 1926. it's a dreamlike hour that none of ye will likely make it through. It is my intention only to let you know it exists. it's in german here, but there are english subbed versions about on the home video market (and I hear tell TMC might air it with some frequency) Thanks much to the dozen + of you that dug on this little left turn in the final month. I'm afraid that really is it for the silent film sharing, but really, lots of it is public domain, go exploring on youtube, it's rich with this stuff!”
