La danse sur la corde

Although the first film (or the first animated cartoon) would only emerge after the praxinoscope was replaced by film, it is still important to highlight the crucial role Reynaud and his device played in the evolution of cinema history.

This work, in particular, is animated effectively, with proper synchronization between the movement of the legs and the arms holding the balancing pole. Special attention should be given to the fact that both the rope and the wooden supports holding it are animated as well, further enhancing the dynamic feel of the scene. There does appear to be a temporal disproportion between the time the ballerina takes to lift her leg and the time it takes to lower it, but considering the author's non-educational intentions, this choice can easily be forgiven.

Rating: NC.

La danse sur la corde lacks the experience where a train mechanic gets run berserk from seeing a long lost soul from passed lives. It's magical because there are a million possible actions that can take place when people visit the moon freely. In this Case, though, one person visits the moon wearing a belt full of 1,200 empty zip lock bags and lays down. And then 1,200 years later the other person also does that. But one of them does fix their hair up and head over to a high end lake party with humans. While the other backs a boat trailer up into the TTT truck stop and proceeds to sit on the boat trailer in some fashion to file their nails and reminisce for some time.
