Opening sentence, 1936 not 1836, right?

If you didn’t know the year this was done, you could easily mistake this for some late 1960’s NFB-Quebec experimental short.

Reminds me of rotoscoping.
Looks like the artist invented the 90’s aesthetics but 60 years earlier than the trend

Wow. It’s got a real NFB Norman McLaren vibe to the whole thing. Cool.

I always vaguely wondered why all-in-one color film was considered such a holy grail, when it was always possible to do it with color separations on black and white film. It would cost more and require bulkier cameras, but then, so did a lot of the early color processes (like this one). And it’d give you much better color, and the prints would last forever, unlike even modern color film.
I guess maybe the issue was that theaters would need different projectors?

Very nice dancing also. I wonder who the dancer is?
Well that was interesting for 11 or 12 seconds
