The Adventures of Prince Achmed - German: Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed - is a 1926 German animated fairytale film by Lotte Reiniger. It is the oldest surviving animated feature film; two earlier ones were made in Argentina by Quirino Cristiani, but they are considered lost. The Adventures of Prince Achmed features a silhouette animation technique Reiniger had invented which involved manipulated cutouts made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead under a camera. The technique she used for the camera is similar to Wayang shadow puppets, though hers were animated frame by frame, not manipulated in live action.

I just had to save the gif and upload instead of just sharing it cause it would have shown just the preview image.  This is just too cute beyond words.  Again, not by me.  Give props to her.

Blooper Reel of the Day: The muppets managed plenty of goofs while shooting last year’s feature film. Here are the highlights.

Also starring the ever-charming Amy Adams and Jason Segel.

I nearly choked to death I laughed so hard. Muppets, I salute you.
