Description
This is a biography of Emile Cohl (1857-1938). The author provides not only a wealth of information on Cohl’s life but also analyzes his contribution to the development of the animation film in both France and the United States, and examines how the new genre fit into the historical shift from a “primitive” to a “classical” cinema.
