Conflict resolution via dance

A Chairy Tale (1957)

Directed by Norman McLaren and Claude Jutra this film has animation from Evelyn Lambart. A man reading a book attempts to sit on a chair, the chair is less than open to the idea.

Putting together an interesting mix of slapstick comedy and courtship via dance this is an entertaining little short. The simple message of conciliation behind the film works well and the on screen action is funny. While the camera tricks behind the animation are nothing special they are done well enough and do not stand out egregiously.


4/5
