Een avontuurtje in 't luchtruim

Animated advertising film for the Eerste Luchtverkeer Tentoonstelling Amsterdam in 1919.

One of the first Dutch animated films, An Adventure in the Skies pays attention to the Eerste Luchtverkeer Tentoonstelling Amsterdam, which opened on August 1, 1919.

The film opens with some precarious 'adventures' with a balloon, an umbrella, and a few aeroplanes. At the end of the film, we see a poster in which the letters are gradually re-ordered to announce the exhibition.

Niemeyer pijptabak

Animated commercial about Niemeyer pipe tobacco: a live-action hand creates an imitation of Koko the clown, who in turn introduces a cat named Felix, the quick-draw artist. Felix draws a variety of men in various professions. When Koko asks why all these men smoke pipes, Felix says it is because of Niemeyer pipe tobacco.
