The Smile-O-Scope (1910) *** (out of 4) A clown walks onto a stage where there's a box with a smile on it sitting on a table. The clown inserts something into the box and then above it on a screen various images are displayed. This is another clever little film from the mind of Emile Cohl who was an expert at making films that weren't the norm. This one here is another way to show off some rather good animation and I was really impressed with it considering when the movie was made. The highlight has to be the sequence where we get a large board with the alphabet on it and one letter at a time, the letters turn into faces. The entire film is based around faces morphing into other images/shapes and I think many will be impressed by the quality.
