It blows my mind how a film that looks this good came out almost 100 years ago
I think that this movie is often not mentioned as the oldest existing animated feature, because it wasn't made by Americans. There were even more animated features that were released before Snow White - and all of them were made outside the USA. The first one wasa satirical El Apostol (1917) by an Argentinian called Quirino Cristiani (its only copy was destroyed in fire), then we had Sin dejar rastros (1918) by the same creator (it was confiscated by the government due to its satirical tone and most probably destroyed, although there is some hope that it may lie in some archive, totally forgotten) and two other satirical Argentinian movies by Andrés Ducaud from the same year (most probably lost in fire). After Prince Achmed, there was 1931 Peludopolis by Quirino Cristiani (the first sound animated feature - its only copy was lost in fire as well, the only remains of this movie is a very short scene featured in the BTS documentary), 1935 The New Gulliver from Soviet Union (a stop motion/live action combination), unfinished and lost Italian adaptation of Pinocchio ca. 1936, the French stop motion movie The Tale of the Fox (de facto finished in 1930, released in 1937 after the soundtrack was added) by a Polish-Russian creator Władysław Starewicz, and the 1937 German stop motion movie based on the fairytale Seven Ravens (it was released 19 days before Snow White).
So in other words...
No one remembers Achmed?
That and I think its a case of people not considering puppetry as animation and people think of fully hand drawn (to CGI).
People also tend to pick films where they can see the influence easier. It(s easier for them to see the influence of Snow White (all hand drawn, colored, AND VOICED) than Achmed (all puppetry and no dialogue)
There's also a lost animated opera titled "The Tale of the Priest and his workman Balda", a Soviet production with music done by Dmitri Shostakovich ("Waltz n°2"). Only one scene remains of it: the Bazaar.
This stop-motion cartoon is lovely. It's not the oldest. Pauvre Pierrot can be found on TH-cam it's French and was shown in 1892. It was hand-painted and in color. Some of the animator's other films were destroyed. You can find it on TH-cam. The oldest surviving cartoon that I know of in the US was a live-action hybrid in 1900 called the Enchanted Drawing. The animator was British American.
@@MattBnl2ih IF ACHMED FROM STARKID IS A REFERENCE TO THIS MOVIE BEING OVERSHADOWED BY DISNEY (portrayed by the movie Aladdin or at least the TRUE version of it) THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE SO INCREDIBLE.
What a rare thing to create a sense of wonder in the span of a few minutes. Now I interested in how to watch this film in its entirety. Thank you for the magnificent pleasure of discovering this movie.
Somehow, this- the oldest surviving animated feature-length film- manages to make some modern animation look like an abomination
Ikr I'm confused.
it really is gorgeous to look at. When creatives don't/can't want to create a photo realistic looking animation sequence like this, the silhouette animation is just gorgeous
not exaggerated at all......
Great animation is timeless.
The animation in question: 0:40
I got turned on to this years ago when I was watching TCM (Turner Classic Movies). It was the trippiest thing I had ever seen. It's still pretty great.
Woah, I love how this film used cardboard cutouts of puppets and shadow puppetry in general. It reminds me of the Chinese shadow play, but I forgot what you call it. But still, I really love this!
A very important piece in the history of animation
"Hi!" *waving at all the peeps studying After Effects*
Hi back! This is not part of our curriculum, I just stumbled across it, but I am in a motion design class right now. Just finished my first bumper animation, my second big AE project.

This is one of the first full-length animated movies, and one of the oldest surviving by a woman. I love the stop-show animation. Some get confused with the oldest full-length and wrongly think it's the oldest animation as well. it's one of the best but I think Lotte had older films that were lost. I wish I had this talent. The French cartoon, fantasmagorie is older (1908) it's on TH-cam. It's not the oldest surviving French animation. Pauvre Pierrot was shown in 1892. (on youtube) There is an animated live-action short called the Enchanted Drawing (1900). It's also on TH-cam. Snow White isn't even the oldest Disney cartoon and not the oldest in the US. It's still an amazing animated film for any time. (I will admit I looked all this stuff up.) I vaguly knew about fantasmagorie, but not the others.
Not just by a woman, oldest surviving over all
She’s also credited with developing the first multi-plane camera, used in this film.
Snopes sent me here.
This was done by hand, in somebody's garage, over five years.
Kewl.
I remember watching this in 1926 when I was 5. Im 100 now.
I had no idea this movie was as old as it was, some forms of stop motion hold up insanely well
So when does he receive the manhood of a tiger?
right now
great movie and animation for 1926 ! I think this is the main inspiration for the video game "Blade Warrior" on Amiga (1991) !
god people really dont remember achmed..
So this is the famous tiger fucker?
In the world of animation their are so many impressive types of animation and cutout animation one of this
And to think people call Snow White the first animated feature when this was already out. Disney was a genius at marketing I'll give him that.
Snow White was still a huge and groundbreaking achievement in countless ways for the medium
@@matheus5230 sure but it wasn't the first feature film. The fact that THIS movie isn't listed as the first animated feature when it IS is insane to me.

@@EEaglee Wow I didn't even know about these - thank you! It's crazy how American media can be so American-centric when we've been inspired and informed by so many different countries and their stories.
@@EEaglee this is so heartbreaking to read, so much creativity, passion, and hard work lost
This movie captivated me more than all the disney movies combined
Lying
You ain’t gotta lie 😭
Not even you believe that.
Why would i lol
Can't believe something this cool was the first feature-length animation. I was expecting some cartoon animal shit lol
It wasn't. The first was called El Apostle's, that was unfortunately destroyed in a fire. The Adventures of Prince Achmed, however, is considered to be the oldest surviving animated feature
"whoa" is all I can really say.
Cool !
Yo this is very unique.
It reminds me of patapon lol
Yah lol
❤️❤️❤️
Name of music?
I wonder if illustrators like Jan Pienkowski were influenced by this film. There are some remarkable similarities
100k box office worldwide .

Wonder if any Tigers were involved in the making?
In all seriousness, for an animated movie in 1926, it holds up remarkably well. Makes you think about how any animated movies we have lost may have looked.
no one remembers achmed :(
The ti- tiger f#cker?
People who remember him are like, 90 years old

But...but surely they must! He's won scores of bloody wars and mopped the floors with his foes! He's even eviscerated peasants

This... Is really cool and trippy.
I’m… stunned, by how amazing and beautiful this is! But, I heard the complete film is lost… is that true?

Came here from Radiohead
me toooo , let s be friend
Same...
Same :v
yayyyy radiohead era
What should really blow your mind is that this film was all done by hand. NO AI--human ingenuity and skill, hands-on.
I only found out about this from Radiohead, very glad I did
And we all thought that Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was the first ever animated film to be released in America.
This is German, actually
Snow White is the first AMERICAN animated movie but Achmed is the oldest surviving one. There are 2 older films from the 1910s but they're lost unfortunately
Dame, German Engineering
Impresionante
Yep.
Beautiful animation! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
awesome
Sadly no one remembers him
All hail Achmed, the tigerfucker!
What a great film. Seeing it again in a couple of weeks.
These look more like stencils
Man..nobody remembers achmed
I saw this on a local TV channel in the 1990's and forgot the title! After all this time I found it!!! Local access channels don't advertise what's going to be on! Horror, comedy, adult R rated....😮😊
