Fantasmagorie (film)

Fantasmagorie (also called 'A Fantasy') is a 1908 French animated short film by Émile Cohl.

[1] The film largely consists of a stick man moving about and encountering all manner of morphing objects, such as a wine bottle that transforms into a flower which becomes an elephant.

Other characters include a woman in a movie theater wearing a large hat with gigantic feathers, and a strongman.

The title is taken from the original French word for "phantasmagoria", a mid-19th century magic lantern show with moving images of ghosts.

Despite the short running time, the piece was packed with material devised in a stream of consciousness style.
