This is one of the very earliest attempts at producing an animated short, having been produced in 1900. And just how can I accurately rate this film as it only lasts about 1 minute? Well, it's just guesswork and considering the context for when it was made, it's an amazing film and still watchable today.
A man walks in front of an easel. He draws a face as well as a bottle of wine and a glass. Then very seamlessly, he takes the wine bottle and glass off the paper and they become real and he drinks it. The face on the paper looks sad until he gives it a taste of the wine and a cigar--then the face becomes very happy. The artist is live and the drawings he makes seem magical and well-integrated into the film.
