The Old Curiosity Shop is a 1911 American silent short drama film produced by the Thanhouser Company.

The film is an adaptation of the 1841 novel The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens that was limited to the time constrictions of the single reel format.

Its survival and attribution as a Thanhouser film was noted by Kamilla Elliott in her 2003 book Rethinking the Novel/Film Debate under the title Little Nell.

Adapted from The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens, the film has been shortened and streamlined for the single reel format.

Exhausted and feeble in health, Nell meets a kind schoolmaster and appeals to him for aid before falling unconscious at his feet.

[1] The surviving status of the film yields to the possibility of further information being gained on the production and details of the work.

[citation needed] The single reel drama, approximately 1,000 feet long, was released on January 20, 1911.
