This is one of my favorites. The middle section with "Harbor Lights" is especially beautiful. And, the racial stereotypes of of "The Rhythm's Okay in Harlem" guarantee you'll never see this on TV.

I find it interesting that an animated short made in 1938 Holland by a Hungarian animator used all New World music, in English.; 12/30/11, 8:54 PM

Scott M said...: Coraline was a better stop-motion movie from a technical aspect, but Nightmare is a better story...or at least more fun.; 12/30/11, 10:02 PM

rcommal said...: Me, I'm thinking of the good friends whom I met through here. It's not been easy all of the time, but I love them. In many ways, this mirrors "in real life." I expect that time will so define that in ways profound.

2012 will mark 40 years of my best friend and me. While 2009 marked 30 years of my most beloved college roommate (and second-best friend), it was just this month in which the latter texted me: "My daughter is now the same age as you were when we met and bonded for life."

Whoa. Wow.

I am so lucky. The luckiest.

Thanks. So thankful.; 12/30/11, 10:58 PM
rcommal said...: As for this, of course it's magnificent, and of course it sets a high standard, better even than nothing, especially given the effort required, technically and technologically speaking, particularly in context (including combined contexts).

In the end,it's about currently prevailing values, that which defines what folks will even bother to look at, whether popularly or in defiance thereof.

There's not much in between to be found, now is there? Or so I am given to believe.; 12/31/11, 12:08 AM
