Considered the first truly animated movie (or at least the first verifiable, surviving animation), this film is based on the lightning-sketch, a popular vaudeville act. The artist (Blackton) draws a series of faces on a blackboard, which then seem to take on a life of their own. (imdb)

Firsts usually get an enormous amount of attention and this one is no exception. However, I liked the phases; There was something witty about each of them.

It feels more like it's showing off a new technique more than it's trying to entertain.

They did a good job of describing the entire film in the title, eh?

A smooth blend of live action drawing with stop motion, cut out, and standard animation. It's a great trick film and the very infancy of animation as we know it.

A really clever animation style. It's entertaining enough, even if it doesn't have an overarching plot.
