It's brilliant when you think that every frame is hand-drawn and synchcronises perfectly with the music. Plus it's entertaining. I like it but not my favourite, I like Vertical Lines a lot. :-)

Like my animation teacher said with an extremely sarcastic voice: «EVERYBODY LOVES NORMAN MCLAREN!»

Did he invent pong with this animation?

Hand-crafted brilliance I reckon.......but hard to explain the wow-factor to kids reared on the iTunes visualiser
