The Adventures of Prince Achmed is a 1926 animated feature film by Lotte Reiniger. It features silhouette animation. Wikipedia says it's "the oldest surviving animated feature film". I think it's a joy to watch. I like her other work, also.
Watch it online at tudou.com without English subtitles, but it's an easy story to understand. It's available on DVD with English subtitles.:[well, that one isn't showing up.]
It's in parts at youtube and should autoplay from here:
Sigh. The autoplay feature doesn't seem to be working for me. The other sections are available through youtube, though.
The Dancing Image has an article. Weird Wild Realm calls it "Truly a superb piece of animation".
