I can’t believe I just stumbled upon this from what I thought would be a silly google search! As an entomologist, I’ve already sent this to a my fellow bug nerds! 112 years later, this is much appreciated! Merry Christmas yall! 🎄

Anyone else watching this adorable film at Christmas 2021? I bet Starewicz would be so happy to learn that over 100 years later, people are still laughing with and smiling at his work. Merry Christmas everyone :)

"All creatures great and small." What an adorable film!

[@MiguelSBR]

It's truly so adorable. Gives me such a silly smile

Technology back then was available to create such a little masterpiece. Magic for the children.

I am astonished at how much I enjoyed this! I wonder how much time and effort went into this back in 1913. Motion pictures had only been about 20 years old at this point.

Damn, Astrid's really showing off her hipster cred with this one.

[@omoaubs]

merry insects' christmas!

[@Winduct]

Unbelievable how Starewicz made this over 100 years ago.

[@YourBoy_Nick]

Very interesting

1984 approves of this message.

German words at 5:40? Was this intended for a German audience? I know Russians have a "grandfather frost" and I'd be interested this was a soviet secularization of father christmas or if it is just a different [German] character altogether.

[@gracemanock2471]

This is pre soviet Russia.

[@MagikarpPoop]

it means merry christmas :)

[@garydmcgath]

Starewicz used actual dead insects in stop-motion animation, so this could be considered an early zombie movie.

[@Chips635]

The Christmas a year later💀

[@sitarnut]

Anyone know what is the music? Thanks!

[@BytomGirl]

The last one is December of Tchaikovsky
