Norm McLaren

I really like McLaren's whimsical dancing doodles. The way he makes simple lines and shapes, solids or outlines, dance and play along with the music is fascinating and amusing. Boogie Doodle was impressive because he drew directly on the film. Spook Sport was a very clever little "film ballet" with the amoebic lines dancing to Saint-Seans' "Danse Macabre."
