Oscar® Nominee, Best Short Subject (Cartoon), 1969
Animator Ryan Larkin uses an artist's sensibility to illustrate the way people walk. He employs a variety of techniques--line drawing, colour wash, etc.--to catch and reproduce the motion of people afoot. The springing gait of youth, the mincing step of the high-heeled female, the doddering amble of the elderly--all are registered with humour and individuality, to the accompaniment of special sound. Without words.
For ages 12 - 14
Directed by Ryan Larkin - 1968 | 5 min
