'The Blue Bird' is a silent film directed by Maurice Tourneur. The story follows two children in their dreaming fantasies who seek the Blue Bird which is supposedly the source of all happiness. They are guided on their journey by friends, who are actually (and this is the part I am really interested in) the souls of ordinary objects like sugar and bread. As I watch, I plan to pay close attention to the theatrical and film devices he uses to animate objects. Notes to follow. Here's the complete restored film. Thanks YouTube.
