Pretty good for the time it was done in.

That was great -- wonderful characterizations! Astonishing for the time. I'd never heard of Starewicz before -- thanks for the introduction. Love the old stuff.

The quality is as good as it has ever gotten! Stop motion is a long and tedious process in itself then he had to have painted the negatives (or film) to get some of the effects.

Great stuff. I've been a big fan of _The Cameraman's Revenge_ ever since I first saw it, years ago. Check it out.
