To celebrate Into Film's Women in Animation film screenings taking place from 5 - 9 March 2018 across the UK, we discuss the oldest surviving animated film in the world. Created by director Lotte Reiniger in 1926, this cut out animation is a magical fantasy adventure which will delight young children everywhere and inspire them to use this simple storytelling technique to make their own animations.
