I'm withholding judgment as there's no information available about the original and it hasn't been confirmed to be from 1930. But if it is: holy shit.

Yep. The animation style and stuff seems legit from that era, even if not documented and verified. Would seem like a lot of trouble for a fake. Not sure why it's recorded so poorly. I was wondering if it was possible that it was clips from different things of the era compiled together. If it is all in a single original film that's some powerful stuff.

I got curious about this again, and it appears to be an elaborate fake. I figured you might want to know as well. Check out the comments on Vimeo.

It seems common knowledge that it's a fake:

The poor quality would help hide many giveaways and issues they may have had compiling the elements.

Thanks for the update.
