Cartoons of the Moment was an animated segment by Harry Julius that appeared in First World War editions of the Australasian Gazette newsreel. This clip is silent.

This collection of eight cartoons stretch between January to June 1915. All items concern the First World War, and as any evidence of exactly when they were screened is hard to come by, we can estimate a date on the basis of the news reports that Harry Julius may have consulted. The cartoons are not in chronological order but rather the in the order in which the NFSA received them.

Harry Julius (1885-1938) was a newspaper cartoonist and caricaturist. His Cartoons of the Moment series was the first Australian animation to screen in cinemas.
