watch it: “Santa Claus (1898)”

Wow, I'm surprised they were pulling that off in the late 1800's.
Pretty awesome stuff.

Those special effects, Blew. Me. Away.

This is great! My first thought, "Oh, is my computer muted?" [duh]. My second thought, "Nice period costume on the maid!" [double duh].

I was amused that the toy fell out of stocking #2. I think Santa then waved goodbye or gestured at the children, but it sort of looked to me like, "aaah, stupid toy, fell on the floor -- whatever, I'm done here."

Thanks for posting that! Really cool.
