连尼卡有动画鬼才之称,他的作品充满黑色调,常令人发恶梦的场景。《迷宫》是他的第一部代表作,一个长着翅膀的人,在一个陌生的城市降落,诡异的城市怪兽横行,诡异的事物随后一个接一个发生了……这是一个长着翅膀的孤独男子自我意识上的卡夫卡事的故事。影片怪异、荒诞,却毫不夸张地表现了被极权主义规则残害吞噬的景象。 导演试图建立一个新的实验电影,凝聚当代艺术抽象拼贴画,暗喻和超现实主义,粗糙简单的材料在这些电影传达同时威胁一个荒谬的无序的宇宙。这个作品被认为是动画电影史上反映政治题材最出色的作品之一。

This Academy Award®-nominated short consists of three animated segments (by three different directors) that take a playful look at Christmas: a rendition of "Jingle Bells" in which paper cut-out figures dance, a dime-store rodeo of tin toys and a story of decorating the perfect Christmas tree.
故事发生在很小的室内空间,镜头均以局部高亮的形式出现(单灯窥探?),直到最后一刻,空间的全景写真才令真相大白。另外,故事的叙述者是 屋中合欢的猫咪,与人类异性间的残酷冲突相互对比,突出了讽刺效果。总体上讲,算是一部出人意料的短片,但就意义来说,则平淡许多。
Ludwig von Drake, the scatterbrained, finance-conscious personality who made his debut as the host of Walt's anthology television series when it was renamed "Wonderful World of Color", hosts this trip down memory lane recalling the hit songs that he wrote. The short bounces between von Drake's indirect introductions and stop-motion-animated sequences of paper cut-outs that bring the music to life. Along with von Drake's fictional tour, viewers are taken on an actual tour through the musical styles of the first sixty years or so of last century. The tunes land somewhere between parody and homage. They include rag, Bing Crosby-style crooning, boogie woogie, and, most memorably, "Puppy Love" à la Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. This is one of the collection's more dated cartoons (although von Drake's ramblings about stereophonic sound don't seem all that different from a modern technophile's babble), but those who are fond of the popular music of previous generations should get a kick out of it.
The film fuses live action and animation and was screened at Three-Person Animation 2. Musique concrète and electronic sounds made by modulating everyday noises such as flush toilets are interspersed throughout the work. Contrasts between opposites, as encapsulated by the title—between live-action space and animated space, between mundane sounds of daily life and bizarre noises—and the war between the sexes, a signature theme in Youji Kuri's work, are also palpable in the juxtaposition of musique concrète and scat singing.
100 basic images switching positions for 4000 frames.
Allures is a spectacular sequence of moving figures and points, a film which reaches out to the cosmic and the spiritual, where the spatial dimension becomes transcendental.
This is an amazingly clever and unique cartoon that must have been seen by Terry Gilliam (of "Monty Python" fame), as the cartoons he m ade for the show seemed strongly inspired by this wacky film. Not only is the art style very, very similar (with cut out pictures being animated) but the kooky style of narration and the many oddities about the film were later seen on the Python show. For example, offering an item and giving the price for it and the place to mail it (both changing each time they are shown) was used by the show on several occasions. There also is a very subversive sexuality about it and the animation for the announcer is amazingly similar for illiam's work as well.
