Emile Cohl : His First Aviation Images
Émile Eugène Jean Louis Courtet (January 4, 1857 – January 20, 1938) is a French caricaturist who became a movie director from 1908. Known as Emile Cohl and the father of the animated movie, he commited some comedy too, most including animation.
1908 is the year of the first kilometer flight (13 January) and Paris one the highlighted place for aviation events. So Emile Cohl couldn't avoid such subject making weekly headlines (as did his movie colleague Max Linder). Only sixty-five movies are still existing on the more three hundred he made. Some of them include footage of aviation facts or action.
But first, Cohl made just animated shooting about aviation like ...
Soyons donc sportifs (1909)
A short animated movie ...
including ballooning ...
... and light (very !) aircraft flight.
Rêves enfantins
Childish dreams is a short animated movie ending with this dirigible :
En route
The different way to travel. Each one is told through a short story through history.
The last one - the most recent - is aviation and ballooning.
But all those ways to travel make journey dangerous ...
... and all of them are colliding !
