A DVD of animated shorts from a Children’s Television Workshop pioneer. I started going through this, but lost interest after a while. <\/p>\n

Opens on a weird note:<\/p>\n

Owl & The Pussycat<\/em> (1968)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The very next film has the word “bullshit” and a crudely-drawn naked woman, so we’re not into the Children’s Television Workshop portion of the program yet.<\/p>\n

Scratching & Painting on Film<\/em> (1968)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yak<\/em> (1970)<\/strong> – a yak discovers the letter “y”
\nTondo<\/em> (1973)<\/strong> – a 3D geometry\/motion exercise, with more naked women.
\nFloor Tiles<\/em> (1997)<\/strong> – floor tile coloring fantasia.
\nSkeletons<\/em> (1979)<\/strong> – a study of skeletal structure.<\/p>\n

Skeletons:<\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

Autosong<\/em> (1976)<\/strong> – gentle Plymptonian perspective-morphing to low comforting rumble of manual-transmission car. I could fall asleep to this. The second-longest film on here, starts to leave the road entirely in its second half.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Four Quadrant Exercise<\/em> (1975)<\/strong> – geometry games with blackouts in between.<\/p>\n

Hand Trick Letters<\/em> (1992)<\/strong> – some ugly-looking digital spelling lessons, though to be fair all computer-made video from 1992 is pretty ugly.<\/p>\n

Rotating Cubic Grid<\/em> (1975)<\/strong> – more geometry exercises, though more fun than its title suggests.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To be continued, possibly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
