About this product

Product Information

These early animated programs evoke their creators' delight at being able to bring drawings to life. Largely eschewing plot, these entertaining shorts explore the expressive possibilities of this vibrant new art form, twisting faces and bodies to lampoon subjects as diverse as women's fashion, weight loss, and (that timeless constant) policemen. Background music is provided by Philip Carli.
