I was never into sports and gaming came later in my life so animation is what shaped my childhood.

Thanks, Emile!

I watched the new computer animated one. Like usual.. The original is always better

cool! its like...my elder! lol

I watched both and still had no fricking clue what was going on. I know it's an important film but at least try to explain some things.

"Happy 100th Birthday To Animated Film"

Thanks for all the shitty cartoons!

"I watched both and still had no fricking clue what was going on. I know it’s an important film but at least try to explain some things."

I think it's pretty self explanatory - it's an animated character going through a series of transitions and interacting with other animated elements. It's the first ever animated film... were you expecting some brilliant narrative? The artist was experimenting.

Historically and technically, the first animated film (in other words, the earliest animated film ever made) was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by newspaper cartoonist J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company. It was the earliest surviving example of an animated film. It was the first cartoon to use the single frame method, and was projected at 20 frames per second. In the film, a cartoonist's line drawings of two faces were 'animated' (or came to life) on a blackboard. The two faces smiled and winked, and the cigar-smoking man blew smoke in the lady's face; also, a circus clown led a small dog to jump through a hoop.

This was soon followed by the first fully-animated film - Emile Cohl's Fantasmagorie (1908, Fr.), which consisted solely of simple line drawings (of a clown-like stick figure) that blended, transformed or fluidly morphed from one image into another.

Actually, the first animated film was _Matches: An Appeal_, a stop-motion advertisement done in 1899, and material from it does, indeed, survive.

wow! not bad!!!

my point was simply that that was not the first animated film nor would this be the 100th birthday of animation...

This is not correct. The first animated film was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906.
