23 Historic Animation Movies - Krazy Kat, Fables,
Katzenjammer Kids and Much More
 This
collection of films explores the earliest period of animated films.
It demonstrates some surprisingly surreal wit to American animation
and a full range of early animation techniques.
The twenty-one films (and two Winsor McCay fragments) in this collection
include clay, puppet, and cut-out animation as well as pen drawings.
Beyond their artistic interest, these tiny, often satiric, films
tell much about the social fabric of World War I-era America.
Here are the animations in this 1 hour 20 minute collection.
