This was included on Expanded Entertainment’s 22nd Tournee of Animation (along with the German short “Balance”) I remember being impressed by the technique —pure lo-tech zany fun! Thanks for the link!

I’m glad you posted this! I remember the clip of the red-guy getting shot in the arse with a blow-dart from the ads on those old “Expanded Entertainment” VHS’s I watched when I was like 10, it always freaked me out! Pretty wild stuff.

The idea of some guys chasing each other in pixillation seems to have spread in the 60’s. I remember a nice clip of that kind which was included in german’s children television programming, where the good guy used a banana peel on the bad guy. Of course I had to try this myself, on Super 8, in the 70’s. Still a nice technique.

Heh, being reminded of those Expanded Entertainment videos again, and how I stumbled across one of the International Tournee of Animation videos while at the public library downtown about 12-13 years ago and just loved watching that stuff!

Love film effect animation, reminds me of the old Norman McLaren experimental stuff and his NFB shorts. Nice!

I have this on DVD, you can get it too here!

I found a DVD containing this short at my local Dollarama store (a Canadian chain where everything costs a loonie), titled Animation From Around the World or some such thing. Come to think of it, I think the disc was just a grey market copy of the 22nd Tournee of Animation (with Balance as well).

I also found a Clutch Cargo DVD…for a buck, who could resist?
