Hilarious Posters
B&W 1905
This short feature is based on some amusing ideas, which unfortunately do not entirely come off due to imperfect execution. The movie starts with a wall full of posters for various entertainers, which become the source of a series of antics involving passers-by. The story that follows is clever, but the visual effects in this one are far below the standard you come to expect from M?li?s. Instead of the usual smooth dissolves and careful background continuity, the special effects here unfortunately come across as rather clumsy and amateurish. It helps somewhat that the story really is a funny one, with some clever ideas, and is worth watching. It's just really too bad that the technical side of it was not up to the visual wizard's usual standard, because it could have been a fine feature if the special effects had worked better.
