I guess Calvin's dad was wrong about the world being only black and white back then...

That is amazing.  Looking at those little children and realizing that they would be over 110 if they were still alive - WOW!!!!

Very impressive to put it mildly.
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

This is amazing! Just think of all the other pieces of film out there we haven't discovered yet. Who knows what we haven't seen? There could of been an even older color film than this floating out there.

We're gonna have to find everything eventually though, or at least all surviving films.

Cool!  It's good when lost films are found; when it's historically significant, that's even better.

Pretty sure the first color film was likely animated. So was this the first live-action color film? Fascinating.
