Japanese Butterflies (1908) Segundo de Chomón

This early silent era film was released in France circa 1908 by Segundo de Chomón. It is partially hand colored and shows several Japanese characters and eventually a worm change into a butterfly which while flapping it's wings changes colors as it flies.

Pretty impressive, but surprised woke tube hasn't put a trigger warning on it for cultural appropriation and yellowface.
