La Poulette Grise

Watch Film

Release Year: 1947

Director: Norman McLaren

Review: An oddly conceived animated short which focuses on style over substance. The film is a continual morphing of an image which keeps changing from a chicken to an egg, and back again with outer space sometimes being shown. The painting was done using chalk and pastels, giving the entire short a surreal feel to it. The animation style is certainly very different from other work around the same time period, but I'm stuck pondering what the point of it was.
Rating: 1.5/5
