  The Kid 1921

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Nov 2023

  tenderness & sadness dictate it all, everywhere; the kid’s toy puppy finds its own wings in dreamland, but even at a hopeful place, death through the hands of the authorities is the only possible outcome for the tramp. a child’s innocent gaze is all someone needs to tell a story as this, and jackie coogan (one of the best kid actor onscreen, ever) nails every look. physical humour at its best during the kid’s fight & the bed’s sequence

  when I watch animated shorts like this one and the sheer amount of possibility that comes with them I can’t help but think… why do we get like 27 iterations of Boss Baby every year
