The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)

How's It Hold Up?

The oldest surviving animated feature film is actually the third one known to have been made, and even still it is over ten years older than Walt Disney's Snow White. It also does not use traditional animation, but instead a cutout and silhouette animation style hybrid. It's also German, while the story itself is based on the 1001 Nights. So all that said... is it any fun to watch? And does something that is nearing 100 years old still hold up all these years later in like ANY regard? Listen to find out!
