DVD about the three The Jaquet-Droz automata
Including perhaps the famous writing automaton created by Maillardet, there are no finer examples in art of automata than the masterpieces created by the Swiss-born watchmaker Pierre Jaquet-Droz (1721–1790). Around 1770-1772, Jaquet-Droz created three incredibly sophisticated automata know as The Writer, The Draftsman, and The Musician.
The video clip shown here is from an excellent DVD entitled The Jaquet-Droz Androids. The film covers all three Jaquet-Droz automata.

I wanted to order the DVD from France to Canada but changed my mind after seeing the price: $70 with the shipping.
