The Enchanted Drawing is an early short released by the Edison Company. This is only 1 1/2 minutes long, and extremely simple. Basically, a guy draws a picture of a face, then a bottle of wine and a glass, which he "magically" takes off the paper and proceeds to drink. The guy on the drawing is NOT amused :-)
Very early example of stop-motion; quite cleverly done, and amusing, but it lacks most of the theatricality of the Melies works - It's a little too simple; just one set piece, one scene, and a couple of simple effects. Still, it's fun, and the attitude of the face in the drawing to having his things removed into the "real" world is entertaining.
