Fantasmagorie, the very first animated film in the history of the cinema, by the french animator Emile Cohl, otherwise known as “The Father of the Animated Cartoon.” Produced by Gaumont, France, in 1908, the film was created by drawing each frame on paper and then shooting each frame onto negative film, which gave the picture a blackboard look.
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.
