Modern Sculptors

This French fantasy animation features a series of magical transformations involving sculptures. In a theatrical setting, a woman presents various figures and blocks of clay that animate on their own. These materials shift and reshape themselves into different forms, including various animals such as a lion, a crocodile, and a pipe-smoking orangutan. One sequence shows a statue of an elderly woman who comes to life and walks before being reshaped back into her original form by the presenter.

The film was directed by Segundo de Chomón, appearing after his 1904 work The Gallants of the Park and before The Haunted Hotel in 1909. It was produced by Pathé Frères and stars Juliette Mathieu. On IMDb, the film has a rating of 6.2/10 based on 225 votes.
