The World's Smallest Movie. The animation is magnified "about 100 million times" when seen in a microscope. The "How It Was Made" video is in English; just the opening advertisement is in Dutch.

Reminded me of the film by Charles and Ray Eames called "Powers of Ten" - also sponsored by IBM but 45 years ago!
