I Met the Walrus



I love this film. There's very little animation really, and the sound is entirely taken from one old interview recording, so in a lot of ways this would have been quite easy to make. The ideas are big though, and animation and illustration is perfect because it can morph quickly from one image to the next, and cover huge themes and abstract ideas really quickly and effectively. And I love the contrast between John Lennon's rambling ideas about peace and violence and the way the world works, and then his mundane conversation about the whereabouts of a key and his white suit from the night before....
