So, 'Why They Love Cavemen' is a curious piece from 1921 that captures that early animation spirit. The tone is lighthearted and playful, which is pretty typical for the era, but there’s something about the humor that feels a bit rough around the edges—almost experimental. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged with its quick gags and visual puns. You can really see the practical effects at play, and while the animation might not be as fluid as what we see today, it has a charm that resonates. The themes are a playful jab at prehistory, poking fun at caveman stereotypes. It’s preserved in the Academy Film Archive, which is nice; gives it a layer of historical importance for those who appreciate the evolution of animation.
