A pioneering, playful animated short that celebrates the magic of drawing itself coming to life through exaggerated, joyful movement.

Cartoon figures announce, via comic strip balloons, that they will move - and move they do, in a wildly exaggerated style. Also known as "Winsor McCay, the Famous Cartoonist of the N.Y. Herald and His Moving Comics".
