- Fred Wolf's 1967 oscar winner.
Very rarely seen, maybe because it's very much of it's era.
You may have seen some films directed by Wolf, such as the TV specials like The Point, or Puff, the Magic Dragon. He also directed The Mouse and His Child.
Oh wow. I've been searching for this for so long I was about to give up all hope of ever seeing it. I've even tried contacting Fred Wolf Films to no avail. Thanks so much for posting. Now I can say that I've seen every Oscar winner for Best Animated Short.
My take on it from the ending was it was Noah's Ark. it would explain the rain and the 2 creatures in the box. Never seen it before. But found it a lovely short film.
Well, this is an incredibly clever little gem. Can't believe I'd never seen this before. Clever premise, ingenious use of sound effects... and there's nothing quite like that scratchy minimalism of indie animation. Bravo!
Wow I've been looking for this forever, Thanks.
My pleasure! Looking for all the Oscar winners is a worthwhile thing to do IMO, and was almost impossible until recently. The 1984 olympic list of animated film is another one worth looking for, one of the few list with enough variety in style.
OMG Thank you. I finally found this through you. I've been looking for this for many years. My search is over. Again, my thanks to you.
Great little short- wonderful storytelling- smartly designed character & animation!!!
This is inspiring to animators.
Yep, that's Grgic's brilliant "Hot Stuff", famous from many a screening on Fire Safety Day back in junior high. Not many a week goes by when I don't find myself thinking "next time we give fire to the woman".
Shelly Manne was a hell of a good drummer.
There is an awful lot of blank empty video at the beginning and the end of this, you should use youtube's built in editor to trim it down.
They also made animation for 200 Motels in 1971.
Wonderful.....charming....intelligent......creative. I saw this gem when I was in high school and I never forgot it. It is so refreshing today in its' simplicity of line, of character design, and its' storytelling. It is also an antidote to the bloated, massive Hollywood movies of $150 million budgets, with way too many complex CGI effects and a weak story. "Cel" animation has been done since 1914, over 100 years. This means, actually, hand drawn on paper with pencil, then traced onto plastic "cels", or celluloid, in layers ( like Photoshop) with ink. It is a direct expression of the artist, direct from the artist's hand. Long live 2D! We still draw, but scan into computer software, like Digicel Flipbook, to composite.
what's inside that boxxxxx!!!????
You could add that as a video annotation at the beginning of the video. :)
AND THEN CAME THE NINJA TURTLES ANIMATED SERIES 🐢🐢🐢🐢
Right up until the very end, I was kinda like "Well, OK...but still...WTF?" You really do have to watch it to the very end in order for it to make sense.
wow what a great short
really a delight to watch with all those rather weak ones in the 50s and 60s
Hubley?
priceless.
Bravo, c'est excellent ! ce film est 100% internationa let sans frontières car sans dialogue et moi, en tant que Français, j'ai tout compris !
Years will pass quickly without us noticing it
Life is second and second and second will become years and years and years
Nothing lasts forever, not even pain and sorrow
Events change in the blink of an eye (in the blink of an eye)
Every day everything changes in the blink of an eye
Every day how many people die in the world
Fred Wolf also directed "The Adventures of The American Rabbit"
OK, fine. I'll say it. I don't get it.
What's there to get? Fixing someone who shares your interests and accepts your interests for what they are. And they join together as 'two of a kind' of Noah's ark.
Note: film ends at 7:32
Well 12 years later I trimmed down the 4 minutes of blank video at the end. Always count on me for quick action!
Great 2D!
Well that was clever.
I just came across another short with a somewhat similar bit at the end of two people finding that each other had something in common that came out around this time.

nice one ;)
Good grief, What a waste of time that was. And it won an Oscar? Perhaps Oscar was the garbage disposal truck driver and they won a free trip to the trash with this. I hope.
Nope. Won "Best Animated Short Film." 40th Academy Awards. And is now preserved for eternity at the Academy Film Archives.
@Nico. Go ahead. Make a better handmade film.
The 1960s and 70s, especially post-Disney, marked the end of the old guard in terms of animated shorts. By this point, you started seeing things like this, UPA productions, and even NFB shorts from Canada getting the attention of Hollywood and the Academy. Meanwhile, Murakami and Wolf--together with Charles Swenson--would find success in television animation long after this, producing and/or directing specials such as those for Disney and series such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Go to sleep grandpa you’re drunk 😂
