    This starts off with a bit of Norman McLaren as the animation appears drawn straight onto the celluloid. It's a simple one - just one red line designed to look like two legs and for the next, slightly long, eight minutes it has some adventures avoiding a shark, a great big tennis ball and an army of spiders (or maybe scarabs) before the frenetic pace all just gets too much for the film. The legs reminded me of the bottom half of the "Pink Panther" a bit, and the continuous movement is artistically quite imaginative as they rush about like a bent double pipe cleaner on speed. It is different, and worth a watch - but you'll probably never remember it.
