Really ? In 1892 Charles-Émile Reynaud showed three different cartoons – each of them were 15 minutes long and would have had over 600 hand draw images each.

I don’t know how he made them … but I certainly hope he had some kind of plan written down. Either that or he’d get to the 598th image before realising that he forgot to set up the punchline …
