Jump around

Jumping (1984)

Directed by Osamu Tezuka this is an animiated short film. From the point of view of our protagonist we jump around the world in gigantic leaps.

Having no real narrative element this is a simplistic short film that shows some of the world via jumps that would make a superhero proud. About the only stain on this film is the racist depiction of tribal Africa which really sticks out like a sore thumb in this otherwise fun film. The animation is good but I wanted a bit more from the story.


2/5
