How a Mosquito Operates (1912)

Directed and animated by Winsor McCay this is an early animated short film. A man trying to sleep is harassed by a mosquito that wants to feast on his blood.

This is a pretty simple cartoon but the animation style is surprisingly advanced for when it was made. I enjoyed the battle between man and mosquito which raises a few chuckles a long the way. As a mile stone in animation this is clearly an important film.


3/5
