Blackton's ''[[The Haunted Hotel]]'' made a big impression in Paris, where it was released as ''L'hôtel hanté: fantasmagorie épouvantable''. When [[Gaumont Film Company|Gaumont]] bought a copy to further distribute the film, it was carefully studied by some of their filmmakers to find out how it was made. Reportedly it was newcomer [[Émile Cohl]] who unraveled the mystery.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Crafton|first=Donald|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GBUABAAAQBAJ&q=%22emile%20cohl%22&pg=PP1|title=Emile Cohl, Caricature, and Film|date=2014-07-14|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=978-1-4008-6071-5|language=en}}</ref> Not long after, Cohl released his first film, ''Japon de fantaisie'' (June 1907),<ref>{{Citation|title=Japanese Magic (1907) - IMDb|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1003468/reference|access-date=2020-02-20}} {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref> featuring his own imaginative use of the stop-motion technique.
It was followed by the revolutionary hand-drawn ''[[Fantasmagorie (film)|Fantasmagorie]]'' (17 August 1908) and many more animated films by Cohl.

Other notable stop-motion films by Cohl include ''Les allumettes animées (Animated Matches)'' (1908),<ref>{{Citation|title=Animated Matches (1908) - IMDb|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139826/reference|access-date=2020-02-20}} {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref> and ''Mobilier fidèle'' (1910, in collaboration with [[Romeo Bosetti]]).<ref>{{Citation|title=The Automatic Moving Company (1910) - IMDb|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486978/reference|access-date=2020-02-21}} {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref> ''Mobilier fidèle'' is often confused with Bosetti's object animation tour de force ''Le garde-meubles automatique (The Automatic Moving Company)'' (1912).<ref>{{cite AV media |date=2010-09-27 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ndb1EgZzwc |title=THE REAL Emile Cohl's 'Le Mobilier Fidèle' |publisher=Alpha Crocy |via=[[YouTube]] |access-date=2021-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210508145602/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ndb1EgZzwc |archive-date=2021-05-08 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media |date=2013-09-25 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM8RjF5V-eU | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211102/KM8RjF5V-eU| archive-date=2021-11-02 | url-status=live|title=The Automatic Moving Company (Romeo Bossetti, 1912) |publisher=Sebastian Ortiz |via=[[YouTube]] |access-date=2021-08-10}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Both films feature furniture moving by itself.
