Storyline
On a clear, yet fateful autumnal morning, a little and restless fly still numb from dawn's chill, flies around in the woods in search of heat and, hopefully, a treat. Fortunately, the insect soon spots an intriguing gleam from a window in a house nearby, and daringly, decides to enter; after all, a human's nest always provides with food and shelter. Without delay, the fly storms inside the house anxious to discover its riches, nevertheless, is she welcome? Written by Nick Riganas
The winner of Best Animated Short Film at the 53rd Academy Awards depicts a fly flitting about, all told from the insect's point of view. I understand that Ferenc Rofusz wasn't allowed to leave Hungary to attend the Academy Awards, but someone accepted the Oscar for him. Anyway, "A Légy" ("The Fly" in English) is a clever cartoon. Rofusz probably didn't have a lot of resources, but he had the talent, and that's what you really need to turn out a good piece of work. The Eastern Bloc turned out a lot of good cartoons. I also recommend the old Yugoslavian cartoons.
I get the feeling that members of the order Diptera must sometimes feel as if humans are out to get them.
