A breakthrough film created by Will Vinton and Bob Gardiner, this Academy Award (Oscar) winning film was the first clay animation film to take clay animation to a new level and achieve such recognition. In an after hours visit to an art museum, a skeptical old man encounters the world of art. As he watches, paintings and sculptures shift momentarily from illusion to reality. An abstract painting explodes with rhythmic movement, a Rousseau jungle releases its captive images, a Dutch scrub woman talks about her plight, and a kinetic sculpture comes briefly and breathtakingly to life. A tour-de-force of clay animation.
