Other title(s): HOTEL ELÉCTRICO, EL
Genre: Short film
Year: 1908
Description: Married couple, Laure and Bertrand, arrive at a hotel where everything is automated through the use of control panels. Everything is working fine until an inebriated hotel employee begins to fiddle with one of the control panels, thereby causing chaos in the hotel. This film represents a fundamental step in the development of animated film with regard to the use of the stop-motion (or frame-by-frame shooting) technique. The film features an extensive range of animation tricks which become the real star of the film, more than the characters themselves.
