it really is amazing stop motion. You can read more about the animator/puppeteer behind this at http://www.awn.com/heaven_and_hell/STARE/stare1.htm

Thanks for sharing. It astounding that this was made in early 1900s, such attention to details.

Wow! that was great and way before I was born, amazing..!

Oh my days, I love Starewicz.  His short, The Mascot, is truly a thing of wonder.  For more glorious stop-motion, I can highly recommend this site http://www.darkstrider.net/gallery2a.html

If you like silhouette stop motion, also check the FANTASTIC work of LOTTE REINIGER There are also some backstage videos of her on youtube. She`s a brillant animator.
