This man was a genius!
NOT the first man to ever make animated drawings (although he claimed he was), but he was definitely the first of this level of quality, which wasn't caught up to until Disney came along 20 years later.
This is his first animated film, Little Nemo. Beware of the 8-minute-long live-action prologue.
Made from 1907-1911, 4000 drawings done on rice paper and then stuck to cardboard, and coloured by hand.
He presented this during his Vaudeville act, but it didn't receive the reaction he had hoped for. People thought it was live action!
