01/02/2011 A silent cartoon from 1918 tells the true story of the sinking of the Lusitania. Kids today are scared of old movies. If you dont know the name of one SUPER OLD MOVIE your missing out BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/17/2009 A landmark in early animation that's almost comical now, at least to me, in its presentation. This isn't to say the animation is laughable -- far from it -- considering the process by which it was made and the painstaking work that went into it, it's easy to marvel at the animation. The propaganda aspects of the storytelling, however, are worth a chuckle. See more Read all reviews
