Additional Information about the Theatrical Cartoon The Enchanted Drawing (Video)

Silent cartoon.

Although this is not an animated film, the origins of animated film can be glimpsed here. J. Stuart Blackton, then a cartoonist for the New York Evening World, is photographed in Thomas Edison's New Jersey "Black Maria" studio performing a vaudeville routine known as the "lightning sketch," supplemented by stop-camera tricks that bring the drawn objects to life.

Copyrighted in 1900, it was probably filmed three or four years earlier.
