Little Moritz Hunting Great Beasts

1912 · 12 min Comedy
4.0 / 10 · TMDB

Little Moritz, a spirited Parisian urchin, decides to prove his bravery by declaring a hunt on the city's most fearsome 'predators' — the police officers. His audacious pranks transform quiet boulevards into an arena of comical confrontation, where every constable becomes a target for witty traps and frantic escapes. This pursuit of 'big beasts' unfolds as a whirlwind of innocent anarchy, challenging authority with balloons, flour, and childish ingenuity. Silent cinema conveys the chaos through expressive physicality and accelerated motion, painting a portrait of streetwise mischief that both alarms and delights the adult world.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This 1912 comedy pulses with the frantic energy of early silent film, where every frame is a joke told through physicality and situation. It foreshadows future slapstick, blending mischievous spirit with pure visual wit.

What lingers after the final chase is the timeless charm of rebellion played for laughs. The film reminds us that comedy often begins with a child throwing a pie at authority. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Alfred Machin
