Neighbours

«Love your neighbor, meaning, to treat others as you would have them treat you.»

Norman McLaren · 9 min · Canada

In this Oscar-winning short film, Norman McLaren employs the principles normally used to put drawings or puppets into motion to animate live actors. The story is a parable about two people who come to blows over the possession of a flower.
