Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Robert Reynolds This short, an adaptation of a piece by James Weldon Johnson entitled The Creation, is a considerably different look from Will Vinton's traditional Claymation style. It's more a 2-D style, with animation by Joan C. Gratz and narration by James Earl Jones. An absolutely entrancing and compelling work, this was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short and deserved the nod. A beautifully designed and animated piece, having seen it makes me wish that I could find Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase, an animated short directed by Gratz which won the Academy Award more than a decade after the making of The Creation. For anyone who still thinks that animation is solely a medium for children (or that it should be), I would use this as an excellent example of what can be accomplished with animation, a fertile imagination and a love of your artform. The Creation can stand alongside other works of the Vinton Studios as well as the best of animation over the last century and hold its own. It has been released on VHS by the studio and copies can be found (at least one compilation, as well a release itself on a VHS cassette) with a little searching. Get the compilation, if you don't have much or any of Vinton's work-it's well worth the effort. Most highly recommended.
