The Glass Harmonica 1969A cut out paper style that reminds me of the work of Terry Gilliam from Monty Python
Walt Disney
Disney - The Jungle book 1967Interesting that it was the first animation to be matched up to prerecorded voice acting.
Terry Gilliam
Storytime and Monty Python's Flying circus. Brilliant, always funny.La Jetee
Very interesting style. Beautiful shots and complex story telling about time travel. The storytelling however is relent on the narration. The use of still shots and sounds makes for a very slow paced film that focuses on the emotions of the unnamed protagonist and his search through time.
The greatest strength of this film is the way it uses both still images, character focused storytelling and sound to create atmosphere. It's biggest weakness is the fact that the audience's understanding of the story is totally relent on the narration.
