Join The Goods as they celebrate "Animonth" by jumping back to the beginning of animation. Dan talks Brian through the various early innovations that led to the art form as we know it, including brief spotlights on eight shorts highlighting technical milestones. Then, they enjoy the distinctive, shadow-puppet style of the oldest surviving animated feature in all its fairytale glory.
