At the beginning of this film, two women come onstage, dressed in Oriental fashion -- they look to be in Japanese garb rather than Chinese, but I could be mistaken or the contemporary audience might not have known the difference. At the end they disassemble the props and do a bit of stop-motion magic. All fairly standard for Segundo de Chomon.
However the middle and majority of this movie is taken up by silhouette animation as figures are disassembled and assembled into something else. This was the year that Cohl started to become prominent and it looks like his work... but who can tell more than a hundred years later?
Cohl or not, it's still pretty good.
