First Yugovo The sea, the beach, and a comfortable rest that creates a triangular (but fat!) man using an ordinary pump. With the help of the pump, you can hatch not only a mat, a tent and even a car, but also what kind of a woman should be shaped. That's just even an inflatable woman somehow does not strive for a fat man, and therefore a resting hand with a pump will have to go to tricks, and in some cases even meanness.
Strange tastes of film academics in the short meter, frankly, by the 60s are not even surprising. Refusing to issue statuettes to aesthetic entertainment and children's cartoons, the trend of which was set by Walt Disney in the 40s, the film academy finally, starting from the 50s, switched to celebrating all sorts of arthouse projects with Oscars. At the same time, the principle - the simpler and simpler animation, the better - has become a real trend. The difference with the previous decade is only that international projects have become actively tamed in competitive animation. A year earlier, among the contest nominees were Czechoslovaks, and even the joint American-Czechoslovak animated film “Manro” won an Oscar. And in 1962, the statuette was given for the first time to a completely foreign cartoon, and also from Eastern Europe to the South.
Yes, the animation of a certain Dusan Vukotic, who worked on Zagrebfilm, is original in some ways, and sometimes even causes a smile. The idea of a invented “surrogate world” for the tech 60s with its space race was relevant. But again, if we talk about form, then on such cartoons you can not build a SYSTEM cinema process. Such cartoons can be soared only at film festivals, and then, getting into the stream, under the arm or under someone's mood. Two-dimensional animation “for adults” is a purely opportunistic product, and such projects themselves are limited in time, because they soon lose relevance and interest. And the work of Dusan Vukotic today is interesting only by the fact that the Academy slapped her “Oscar”. However, to whom they only statuettes in a short animation did not give ...
Yugas can certainly be proud of their first Oscar, but for the sake of truth, there is no deep aesthetic here.
