It is late at night, with all sounds hushed and darkness enveloping everything. Only the wall clock continues to tick-tock, like a tireless traveler. The little puppet has long fallen into a deep slumber, sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the clock transforms into a large puppet, waking the little one, snatching away his blanket and pillow, and even abducting him out the window. The little puppet cries out in distress, crashing into the sentry box of patrolling soldiers, and then embarks on a series of mysterious adventures. This is destined to be a bizarre and sleepless night...
In 1908, Émile Cohl created the animated short film "Fantasmagorie," widely recognized as the first fully animated film, requiring approximately 700 drawings for just two minutes. Following this, Émile produced "Le Cauchemar du fantoche" and "Un Drame chez les fantoches," both in a style similar to "Fantasmagorie." The script and animation were completed solely by Émile himself.
