INTRODUCTION
The Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded
Sound Division (M/B/RS) has a rare and valuable collection of silent
animated film. This collection contains early cartoon series such
as the Alice Comedies, Felix the Cat, and Mutt and Jeff. The collection
also has animated educational films such as Tommy's Troubles (1926)
which teaches children how to take care of their teeth by eating
healthy foods and brushing. An animated account of The Sinking
of the Lusitania (1918) by Winsor McCay provides a historical
representation of this pivotal event that prompted the United States
to join World War I. Political cartoons also appear in the collection
including Cartoon: T.R.'s Arrival in Africa (1909) which
is a parody of President Theodore Roosevelt's safari trips. The
earliest silent animated film in the collection is The Enchanted
Drawing produced by Thomas Edison in 1900. This film depicts
a live artist drawing a sad looking tramp on a sketch pad and as
the artist continues to draw his face changes in slow motion. In
the same animation style the Library of Congress also has Humorous
Phases of Funny Faces (1906). Both of those films are also
part of the Paper Print Collection which is comprised of films
that for copyright purposes in the early 1900's were sent to the
library as stills on rolls of paper instead of on film. These silent
animated films offer an interesting portrayal of American history
and folklife and the Library places a high priority on preserving
and making them accessible to scholars. We hope this filmography
will be a useful research tool for scholars, filmmakers, and librarians.
SCOPE
The research guide includes more than 250 silent animated films
produced in 1929 or earlier. Some of the films are not yet viewable
because they are archival copies, but viewing copies are being
made as indicated by "ref. copy forthcoming" in the entry. For
the purpose of this research guide, the term "animation" includes
cel, clay, and puppet animation and the term "silent" includes
any animated film without sound. In addition, there are indexes
of character names, personal names, and series titles. (The personal
names index include directors, producers, animators, collection
donors, cast members, or anyone whose name appears in the citation.)
SELECTION
Film titles were garnered from various automated and manual files
at the Library of Congress. Both cataloged and uncatalogued films
have been included in this research guide. Where M/B/RS has more
than one copy of a film only the viewable reference print is listed.
