Events in 1891 in animation.

Events

[edit]
  • Specific date unknown:
    • Charles-Émile Reynaud creates the film Pauvre Pierrot (Poor Pete). The film consists of 500 individually painted images, and originally lasted for about 15 minutes. It would not be exhibited to an audience until 1892. [1]
    • Magic lantern slides with jointed figures set in motion by levers, thin rods, or cams and worm wheels were produced commercially and patented in 1891. A popular version of these "Fantoccini slides" had a somersaulting monkey with arms attached to a mechanism that made it tumble with dangling feet. Fantoccini slides are named after the Italian word for puppets like marionettes or jumping jacks.[2]
    • George R. Tweedie gained fame in 1891 by running a popular magic lantern show, titled "Gossip about Ghosts". The show, which cost sixpence, consisted of fifty slides, each illustrating a story about ghosts or supernatural occurrences.[3][4][5]
    • Two different British patents for magic lantern slides with moving jointed figures (fantoccini slides) were granted in 1891.[6]
