A classic fairy tale comes to life in a unique animated form...

For a short time, the 'Silhouette' animated technique, pioneered by Segundo de Chomon with Chinese Shadows (1908), was quite the new toy with creators. No doubt inspired by Lotte Reiniger's Cinderella (1922), early director Herbert M. Dawley decided to give this new medium a try. The result is truly distinctive-the characters are all uniquely their own and there is literally no way to confuse them, the animation is as fluid as any that Reiniger (my gold standard in these matters) ever animated, the backgrounds are as charmingly minimalist as any i've seen and do the job quite well, and I find the 'storybook' title cards adorable. Also, the concision required to fit nearly the entire Hans Christian Anderson tale into just over 6 minutes shows masterful editing on Dawley's part. This particular American Pathe release is in relatively good condition and has a third-party music track added.

Sadly for animation fans, Herbert M. Dawley was not as prolific as other animators-he released this and a few more projects through American Pathe Studios and then returned to a rather successful career directing on the stage. You will be missed, good Sir...B&W, Soundtrack.
