Fantasmagoria
Émile Cohl was already 50 by the time he made his first breakthrough work for Gaumont. FANTASMAGORIA's squirmy chalk drawings are infused with the same anarchic spirit which inspired his earlier work as a caricaturist and art provocateur. Pointedly crude, the animation skewers a bourgeois lady at the theater within seconds....Start your free trial to watch

Transfigurations
A showman invites patrons to step up to his Kinetoscope-style magic box and glimpse the answers to their most burning questions. Émile Cohl’s irreverent animation takes over from here, painting less than flattering portraits of futures in marriage and business.

It's hard to believe that this inventive animation was produced in 1909!
Beautiful, inventive pastiche from one of the fathers of modern animation.
So fresh and imaginative. To think it's over 100 years old is incredible.
A man before his time. This is great animation. What would this guy have done with today's technology.
Amazing animated short for its time. Watching it I'd never have guessed it was made in 1909. Very sweet too. Wondering whether the music was added more recently, or if it's from 1909 as well. If so, this totally blows my mind for being before it's time.
We loved it...very inventive and ahead of it's time. Very nice animation!
I never knew that this film existed. It's very sophisticated for 1908. Enjoyed it immensely!
Full to bursting with humor, sincerity and experimental animation. A lovely little short.
