  Starevich was doing stop motion animated films in 1912: "The Beautiful Leukanida" or "The Cameraman's Revenge".

  Amazing film. (I discovered it via "1001 Movies to See Before You Die.")

  Copies are on YT:

  IIRC, that's the movie they play on loop at the kids section of Landesmuseum in Zürich.

  I’m shocked I never heard of this before.

  Just watched the first couple minutes of The Adventures of Prince Achmed and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before.

    It's a filmed shadowpuppet performance.

  I wonder if she knew of Henri Rivière and his "Ombres Chinoises."

  The Shadow Theatre at "Le Chat Noir" was fairly famous, no?
