Buffalo Running 1883
It was released as "Elephant Running" in European theatres, and since European people knew that this wasn't exactly an elephant, it flopped in the box office. After cruel reviews by the newspapers, mocking the travesty of the situation, Muybridge first blamed the studio, then refused to join festivals around Europe with his new films. That year, he also turned down the position of jury president for Cannes Film Festival. Luckily, there were just 5 entries that year (all by Muybridge).
