Early animation to Cuban music

A Colour Box (1935)

Directed by Len Lye this is an animated short film. Various colours and shapes dance around to Cuban music.

This is another of those films that is noted for it's place in history rather than it's outstanding quality. As an animated film it is decent but the animation does not always fit the music as well or as in as clear a progression as other shots of this type that I have seen. No doubt there is some skill involved in making such a film but I have seen more interesting efforts.
