Pauvre Pierrot (1892)
One of the first animated films ever made. This French animation was created by Émile Reynaud and was broadcasted in October 28, 1892 (3 years before the invention of cinema) at Musée Grévin in Paris, France, using his Théâtre Optique system - similar in principle to a modern film projector. It was shown along with his 2 other films, 'Le Clown et ses chiens' and 'Un bon bock'. The entire program was then called Luminous Pantomimes.
The film consists of 500 individually painted images. Reynaud himself was the script writer and projectionist. Although it was made earlier than the invention of cinema but it was colored and more than that - not a silent film. The musical score was done by Gaston Paulin.
The story in brief:
One night, Arlequin come to see his lover Colombine. But then Pierrot knocks at the door and Colombine and Arlequin hide. Pierrot starts singing but Arlequin scares him and the poor man goes away. (courtesy - IMDb)

Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906)
The earliest animated film ever made is a silent cartoon by J. Stuart Blackton in the year 1906. J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company was a newspaper cartoonist. It was the first animated work on standard picture film, using the single frame method and was projected at 20 frames per second. It is the earliest surviving American animated film.
The film is about a cartoonist's line drawings of two faces on a blackboard and they apparently came to life. The two faces smiled and winked and the cigar-smoking man blew smoke in the lady's face. Also, a circus clown led a small dog to jump through a hoop. It actually uses cutout animation made to look like chalk outlines.

Fantasmagorie (1908)
The first fully animated film in history, made on modern picture film projector by Émile Cohl (Emile Eugene Jean Louis Courtet, 1857-1938), a French caricaturist of the largely-forgotten Incoherent Movement, cartoonist and animator. He is called 'The Father of the Animated Cartoon' and 'The Oldest Parisian'.
This silent animation is not a narrative but a collage of some actions performed by the main character. But the way one action leads to the other, the speedy merging of different scenes glues the eyes to the screen.
Cohl made it from February to May or June 1908.He placed each drawing on an illuminated glass plate and then traced the next drawing-with variations-on top of it until he had some 700 drawings to make this film. This created a consistent movement and continuity between the drawings. The characters look like chalkboard caricatures which was popular in those days. But Cohl filmed black lines on paper and then printing in negative, making his animations appear like chalk drawings.

The Danish Poet
The Danish Poet is a Norwegian literary adaptation.
Can we trace the chain of events that leads to our own birth? Is our existence just coincidence? Do little things matter?
The narrator of The Danish Poet considers these questions as we follow Kasper, a poet whose creative well has run dry, on a holiday to Norway to meet the famous writer, Sigrid Undset. As Kasper's quest for inspiration unfolds, it appears that a spell of bad weather, an angry dog, slippery barn planks, a careless postman, hungry goats and other seemingly unrelated factors might play important roles in the big scheme of things after all.
