The Wonderful World of Disney

Walt Disney - Fantasia - The Sorcerer's Apprentice - 1940



Walt Disney - Dumbo - Pink Elephants on Parade - 1941

The one of the most fantasic elements of a Walt Disney film is how the musical score perfectly compliments the visual storytelling. The score on its own translates what is happening on a visual level. Very imaginative creations.

Vincent - 1982

Tim Burton - Vincent - 1982

This was Tim Burton's first stopmotion film he ever created. A dark and magical creation.

AND YOU NINIEE POO!

An interesting insight into the construction of Angela Anaconda.

Power of influence (and commerialisation)

Salad Magic Advert - 1989

This is an advert for Salad Magic dressings which was released in 1989. The adverts visual style was directly influenced by Giuseppe Arcimboldo's paintings and the later Dimensions of Dialogue stop-motion film by Jan Svankmajer.



Jan Svankmajer - Dimensions of Dialogue (Part One) - 1982



Giuseppe Arcimboldo - Summer - 1573



Giuseppe Arcimboldo - Winter - 1573

Spam Advert - 1990

You don't say ham, you say spam!

Decore Advert - 1989

Hahaaa. This was my family!

RSPCA Advert - 1988

I absolutely loved this ad when I was a child. Still do.

RAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The old Gobbledok.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

The intro/title sequence for the X-Files series has always fascinated me with its combination of obscure imagery and haunting soundtrack. These elements perfectly represent the shows relationship with unexplainable phenomena and extraterrestrial forces.
I can still remember the first single (let alone CD) I ever purchased was the X-Files Theme. Still got it today. Haha.

PILOBOLUS

I believe the artists responsible for these fantastic creations are apart of an outsider Dance Theater company called PILOBOLUS. More specifically; PILOBOLUS CREATIVE SERVICES are a division within the company specializing in a wide range of movement services for film, advertising, publishing, commercial clients, and corporate events.

Murphy It's You.

A scene from one of my all-time favourite films. The 1987 Paul Verhoeven film: Robocop.

I Met The Walrus

I discovered this lovely animated film piece. Here's the description take from Youtube.com.

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message."
