Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This very short short film from 1900 put a smile on my lips. It is directed by J. Stuart Blackton and also stars him. He is one of the most famous prolific directors of the early 20th century. Here he give us a man who draws a painting of another man. He also draws some wine and cigars. When the artist magically takes the wine and cigars from the picture, the painted man looks mad as he seems to want his pleasure back. So finally, he gives it back to him as well as his cylinder and he is happy again. J. Stuart Blackton also seems to have a great time drawing as he seems so enthusiastic. This is a very short work, but not a bad one at all. Much better than most silent one-minute shorts from around 1900. It's like a good joke. Short, but memorable. Recommended.

Michael_Elliott Enchanted Drawing, The (1900) *** (out of 4) Early attempt at animation is also another take on the work of Georges Melies. A cartoonist walks onto a stage with a large sheet of paper. He then begins to draw various items, which seems to come to life (this trick down with the editing). It's hard to be too hard on a film this early and running just over a minutes so I won't even try. This is a pretty fun little movie even with the various flaws. I found the cartoonist to be pretty entertaining and the drawings are quite nice. The "magic" tricks aren't that believable and are miles below the work of Melies but they're still mildly charming.

tavm J. Stuart Blackton is an unsung pioneer in the history of animation possibly because many of his short film projects had techniques that have been improved time and time again. Having said that, The Enchanted Drawing in which he draws a face with a cigar, a glass, and a wine bottle and proceeds to take many of those objects off the drawing in split-time seamless editing has an old-fashioned charm that still resonates some 107 years later. And the various expressions of the drawn man's face whenever any of these objects are taken from him must have truly enchanted audiences of the day. With this and Humorous Phases of Funny Faces, Blackton deserves some recognition for contributing to the art of animation.

MartinHafer 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.
