1910 · 6 min

A playful early animated curiosity, mixing live footage and trickery into a quick, inventive tour of human ambition.

A splendid blend of live-action photography and Cohl's famous animation, Nothing... displays the realms man has conquered: Air, sea, the domains of music and machinery. The one thing man cannot conquer, Cohl posits, is gossip.
