Christmas Cartoons
Every year my dear friend and I share the Christmas holiday and try to enjoy the warmth of the season. But given the last two years, I decided we needed a little whimsy. And what is better to share with a dear one than cartoons? This praxinoscope is perfect.

Great Product!
I was impressed by how striking the design was and how entertaining the mechanism worked. The praxinoscope also came with a pamphlet explaining the history of the device. Awesome!

Beautiful piece to compliment any nook
This is quite a beautiful piece that you would rarely find in anyone's collection. The matte decorative and varnished wood finishes work very well together and the mirrors were squarely mounted (something I was worried about since I've seen ones with crooked mirrors). If you have (or are) someone who can appreciate this kind of trinket, it is absolutely as nice as the photo's make it appear.

A delightful Christmas gift
All of the animations are beautifully drawn and visually pleasing to watch. My parents also plan on trying their hand at drawing their own animations to try as well, using the size and spacing of the originals as a guide.

Absolutely perfect gift.
When this was opened my friend couldn't stop complimenting it, from its beauty, to its make, to the excellent examples of "film" strips. We spent time looking at each one and he already had his favourites picked to show the kids at school. He also knew exactly where it was going to go in his home. He LOVED it. (I also wouldn't mind one for myself now, it is really beautiful.)

Can you make your own animation with this? Does it provide papers to do so? Or do you just have to use the ones it gives you ?
Verified reply from Michelle
Hi! This comes with 19 slides featuring different characters, but you could certainly try to make your own! It sounds like a fun project!
