THÉÂTRE ÉLECTRIQUE DE BOB, LE

TEATRO ELÉCTRICO DE BOB, EL

Three children are playing in a room. One of them picks up a toy theatre and places it on the table, at which point an animated puppet show begins and we watch four distinct acts: fencing, boxing, wrestling and gymnastics on parallel bars. This film is an example of the development of animation film using dolls brought to life through the stop-motion (or frame-by- frame shooting) technique.
