The Magic Hoop (1908)
• November 23rd, 1908 • 0h 5min
Fantasy, Animation
Overview
Émile Cohl mixes live-action and stop-motion animation in this charming evocation of the power of imagination. A magician shapes his cane into a hoop with strange properties for a young girl. Costume changes and city promenades give way towards greater abstraction as the film becomes absorbed by what goes on inside the ring.
