Like Going To A Good Art Museum, 23 August 2008
10/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

A printed description of this animated short film described it as "Two riders on galloping horses disappear, then reappear, alternating with other animated images moving to the same rhythm as their own." That is an accurate description but it doesn't do justice to the stunning beauty of this film.

The artwork was fantastic: a series of oil paintings set in motion. The colors are rich, have texture and it's like going to a good art museum and looking at masters' works coming to life.

This animated story is all about motion, set to the music, which is nothing new but it's uniquely presented here. This is a pure art, not a "Cat Concerto" or some Looney Tunes in which the same effect is done for laughs. (That's no knock: those were great, but this is done, not for humor, but strictly for art.....and it is magnificent.

Georges Schwizgebel is the director and animator and the Boston Symphony Orchestra provides the music. Overall: very impressive.
