An 1890s tale of cockblocking

Pauvre Pierrot (1892)

Directed by Charles-Emile Renaud this is an early animated film. A man goes to woo a woman only to have pranks played on him by a rival lover.

What stands out about this film is that the animation and art are really high quality, especially for being one of the first animated films ever made. The plot is pretty simple but compared to some of the animated films that follow this the standard of image is much higher. While the story might not do more than raise a slight chuckle in places it's still a good watch.


4/5
