Rabbit's animated journey through the history of (mostly American) cinema is a wonderful cartoon and, unfortunately, an ad for Motorola. Link goes to embedded quicktime, very slow loading.

It's not crashed as far as I can see - I just launched it in a different browser (IE as opposed to Firefox) and it loaded, albeit slowly.

Greg The Bunny does a good enough film overview for me.

kirkaracha - thanks, I was curious about The Cook, didn't know what film that was.

kirkaracha forgot the two other homages - the magic lantern morphing into a nickelodeon sequence, just seconds before the Steamboat-esuqe cels.
