To the letter

Love on the Wing (1938)

Directed by Norman McLaren this is a short animated film that was created as an advert for the postal service. A man and a woman carry out a relationship by sending each other letters.

Providing a slightly abstract style this film does a pretty good job of showing a romance through simple drawings on coloured backgrounds. There are a lot of weird and wonderful things going on in this surreal story but it is an entertaining watch. This may not be the most intricate style of animation but it certainly holds your attention.


3/5
