For 1980, it's pretty good, 9 February 2008
8/10
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

Most people seeing this film today will probably not be very excited about its graphics--after all, amazing computer generated graphics and techniques are the norm today. But for 1980, this is a truly unusual film and has a great look. The film is the world as seen by a fly. Apparently flies are color blind and everything in the film is sepia tinted. The backgrounds are all painted with a black brush and as the camera follows the path of the fly, they use a fish-eye lens to heighten the effect that you're seeing what the fly is seeing. The actual content, while interesting, isn't that important--it's more the experience of seeing the world from this unusual viewpoint that is the film.

Not surprisingly, this film received the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film and is a good film for fans of the genre. However, the casual viewer might not be so captivated by this experimental film.
