The computer can be an effective tool for creating clouds, realistic sets, palm trees, and tracking shots in three dimensions. But computer graphics remains far less effective than drawn or stop motion animation for producing an effective illusion of weight, a believable human face, or a convincing walk. Neither the skeleton in "Teaspoon" nor the winged statue in "Migrations" convey a sense of weight, so when they fall, it's no scarier than seeing a balloon bounce off the floor. The realistic skies and fields of wheat in "Tribu" clash with the awkwardly moving little figures. "Butterflies in the Rain" has believable shots of the inside a of piano, but the butterfly looks like a toy on a string. An exercise in lighting, "Fiat Lux" boasts handsome metallic and marble surfaces, but it's a technical demonstration with no story. Weak direction compounds the technical problems in several selections. "My Lucky Day" is just a prosaic retelling of an old joke; the cliché-ed (and sexist) "Ronin Romances" resembles a bad reworking of an old George Pal "Puppetoon." A collection for students of the medium, not general audiences. Not rated; suitable for ages 15 and up: violence, nudity, and sexual/toilet humor. -- Charles SolomonDVDs ARE REGION 1 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
