A Love Affair in Toyland (1908)

*** (out of 4)

As I go through the animated work of Emile Cohl there's no question that he had a rather dark sense of humor or perhaps just a dark vision. This film, as was the case with most of his work, doesn't have so much of a story but instead there are just various images with weird things going on. I think the lack of a story almost helps because you could watch this film a dozen times and probably see something different each time. There are pretty much four characters who come up and we see various chases and sometimes people are tied up. A love affair gone wrong? I guess that will be up to each viewer but the early animation is quite good.
