The world’s most popular Web search engine, Google, is celebrating English comic actor Charlie Chaplin’s 122nd birth anniversary, with a special animated Doodle that is actually a two-and-a-half minute film.
Google is known for marking special days and occasions with doodles on its home page, but it is the first time that the Web firm posted a feature film.
The black & white video features Charlie being moved on by a police officer after he is discovered reading a Google newspaper in a park. He then engages with a painter drawing a Google logo and then tries to get his way into an event without admission ticket worth $1.
After the end of the video, the sits takes the users to a page showing search results for “Charlie Chaplin.”
The short silent film was produced with the help of the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum.
Commenting on the doodle, the Doodle team's creative lead Ryan Germick said, "We're always trying to humanize the Google brand. In this case, we actually put humans in the doodle.”
Chaplin, born on 16th of April 1889 in London, was very popular for his extra-large shoes and trousers, short & nearly rectangular moustache and bowler hat.
