This collection of films explores the earliest period of animated films. It demonstrates some
surprisingly surreal wit to American animation and a full range of early animation techniques. The twenty-one films (and two
Winsor McCay fragments) in this collection include clay, puppet, and cut-out
animation as well as pen drawings. Beyond their artistic interest, these tiny,
often satiric, films tell much about the social fabric of World War I-era
America.

Here are the animations in this 1 hour 20 minute collection.
