Neighbours - Norman McLaren

Norman McLaren is regarded as the best when it comes to pixilation animation. This being a good example of what he can do:


This pixilation was a revolution during it's time (1950s). It was the first of its kind in the form of an animation style; combining the music/sound effects with the way the characters move make this film entertaining, even when it shouldn't be.
It was made during the time of the war, so his aim was to communicate the idea of the war with a sense of humour.
