Le Repas des Poulets (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A young girl feeds chickens.
Very simple in concept and execution. The animation works just about well enough. I could not find a good quality version online unfortunately.
3/5
La Nageuse (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A girl swims in water.
A charming little short that works fairly well. Only a small clip but nicely done. Pretty good perspective.
3/5
Le Steeple-chase (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early short animated film. Two horses cross the frame.
Somewhere between jerky and smooth animation, not perfect. Fine for what it is. Lacks some of the charm of other Reynaud shorts.
2/5
Les Bulles de Savon (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A girl blows bubbles.
A bit jerky in motion and not in great image quality. Not the top tier of the Reynaud animations. One to skip.
2/5
L'Equilibriste (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A child balances a drum.
Not the best of the Reynaud catalogue. The action is a bit jerky in this animation. Also hard to find in decent image quality.
2/5
Le Jongleur (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is a short early animated film. A man juggles.
A nice little short with animation that works decently. Hard to find a good quality version of this online unfortunately. A good addition to the catalogue.
3/5
Le Rotisseur (1878)
Directed by Emile Reynaud this is an early animated short film. A man roasts some meat.
A simple scene that easily repeats. The animation works pretty well, it is not too jerky. Given the age a decent short.
3/5
