Puppet

 

The Merry Skeleton (1898)


Directed by Louis Lumiere this is an early short film. We see a skeleton dance, fall apart and put itself back together again.


Unlike other films of this period this short uses a puppet for its special effects. This is a fun little short that may be lacks a little of the magic of a Melies film of a similar era. Still a fun film in its own way.


3/5
