Plastiphobia

National Film Unit, 1962

Description

A ‘Plastimania’ Special

One of four films that animator, Fred O’Neill, made with the National Film Unit. O’Neill specialised in creating characters out of Plasticine and using stop-motion animation. Energised with a vibrant soundtrack and the rhythmic contortions of clay, the film runs at a lively pace. The various characters engage in mischievous fun before it ends with a show-stopping circus finale.
