Dog Factory (1904, Edison Manufacturing Company, USA)

Two men are operating a 'dog factory', using a device that they call a Dog Transformator.

A man brings three dogs into their shop, which they purchase from him.

They place the dogs one by one into the machine, which turns each dog into a string of sausages.

As their customers come in, they are then able to select the kind of dog that they want, and the machine changes the corresponding string of sausages back into a dog.

Edison took advantage of how gullible early movie viewers were, to dramatic effect.

You could say that this 112 year old  film was the first "special effects" movie!
