A Phantasy

1952
Animation
Short Film
8m
An animated film drawn entirely in pastels. Various fantastical plant-like things "grow" from the ground, eventually launching five spheres. The spheres drift in space while changing shapes and come back down to another setting, which eventually becomes more fantastical and symbolic than the opening one. The soundtrack has a jazz slant, with an ensemble of four saxophones and synthetic sound (i.e. sound created by drawing directly on the soundtrack) (imdb)

Another psychedelic lunacy of McLaren. Resembles Fantastic Planets backdrops.

Truth in advertising. Pleasantly abstract. In fact, the part in the clouds reminds me of John Conway's "Game of Life"

Good title... "phantasmagoric" is the word I would use to describe this. It reminded me a bit of what Laloux would do in Fantastic Planet. A little slow, and a little too "making it up as you go along", but very pretty.
