Cohl made "Fantasmagorie" from February to May or June 1908. This is considered the first fully animated film ever made. It was made up of 700 drawings, each of which was double-exposed, leading to a running time of almost two minutes. Despite the short running time, the piece was packed with material devised in a "stream of consciousness" style.
I wonder if this was the inspiration for Coldplay's Strawberry Swing video. The stream of consciousness flow reminds me of that.
