7 minute long short film called "Dreams of Toyland" (1908). Uploaded by the British Film Institute. Starts off in a toy shop, before switching to a toy town with toy people, animated by stop-motion.
I hope someone finds this interesting:

There's a Russian or maybe Czech animator active in the 20s and 30s. Forgot his name--he was known to Ray Harryhausen.
He incorporated motion blur into his animation so it was more realistic.
Used insects and skeletons for things.

Used insects and skeletons for things. Possibly Wladyslaw Starewicz? He was famous for The Cameraman's Revenge (1912), among many other short films, often starring cockroaches among other creepie-crawlies. A lot of his stuff is on YouTube. |

 Wladyslaw Starewicz, with with one of his model insects, they were just models. Some people back then even thought that he had managed to train insects.  Arthur Melbourne Cooper showing at a later exhibition how he created his early trick films. |

Harryhausen had his own motion blur process (I dont know if he based it on Starewicz's). He had wanted to use it on One Million Years BC but the studio balked at the time/cost.
He did use it briefly during the Harpy sequence in Jason and the Argonauts (for a shot where the Harpies are crawling along a stone column) just as a personal amusement, so I am told.

Matthew the Swordsmananother great little film. Thanks! Wanted to tell that child to calm down, greedy little thing  I like to re-watch these oldies and look at the clothing, vehicles and shop signs ... Noticed that the "Toy Shop" has a large sign that says SHAVING. Funny D'OH ... when I started to play the video that I KNEW would be silent, I turned on my speakers !
