This is one of the first medium closeup shots ever filmed. Quite a few Lumiere films have the camera stationed away from the action, but here the camera has been brought right up to the table. It probably wouldn't be as interesting with the shot taken father away from the action, and it would be harder to see what was going on. Watching it today, it's like viewing a home movie, so I suppose because of the subject matter many people today would find it cute.
All we see is a baby (Andree Lumiere) and her parents (August Lumiere and Marguerite Lumiere) having breakfast at a table. The two parents are desperately trying to get the baby to eat, but the baby is rather hesitant and after trying her cracker offers it to her parents. Ha! Kinda funny if you think about it. Because of being only 30 seconds, it doesn't get boring. It's also among the very first of the Lumiere Brothers films, and one of 10 films shown at the Salon Indien in 1895. Worthwhile for film buffs of course and a cute film to watch even today.
