On-Line Holiday Viewing: "The Insects' Christmas" (1911)

Posted by Phil Nugent



It's Christmas, and what the hell are you doing on-line? We've had a full night ourselves and are just about to slop the reindeer before celebrating this sacred holiday in our traditional manner, by watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Ecstasy, but first we had to make sure this was in your stocking: a little burst of seasonal stop-motion timelessness from 97 years back, courtesy of the pioneering Russian animator and bug freak Wladyslaw Starewicz. Please enjoy, and happy holidays from the Screengrab!
