Seems like in 1971 you could rotoscope some tinted stock footage, pan-n-scan over static line art with watercolor washes, hire a big name to narrate bombastic, condescending platitudes, call it social criticism and walk off with an Oscar. But it only SEEMS that way, of course. In fact, this is a SATIRE of simplistic, heavy-handed moralizing. Lee Mishkin: grandfather of 4chan.
If you are real right , and if you are respect the knowledge and don't respect stupidity you will be a wizard. And if you will do something real right then someone will be amazed and maby will someone will laugh and will feel miracle.
@sygo7g what do you mean by saying cheap joke? are you being sarcastic? i dont it was taken from a joke book. unless you are a good troll looking for such responses..
@lshplayer90 Because they are wrong and you are right, and they should see how right you are. Why cant they see that you are right, and things should be done your way?
Are they just stupid, or weak? Probably both, since you are right, and right is strength, and since they are not right, they cant be strong either.
Why should the strong try to become weak and wrong, when you can try to make the weak and stupid strong and smart? Its better that way, right?
First saw it with my sweet bride in 1971 - prior to a first-run of "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway. Wish I had a 16mm print as Sygo7g mentions
Eh. 'The Crunch Bird' was better than 'Evolution,' but 'The Selfish Giant' should have won. I guess that was too sappy for Oscar voters.
Anyways, thanks for sharing this. I've been searching for this movie for years. I mean, I read the book and everything already, but it's different watching the actual short.

Is "The Crunch Bird" not the best winner of such an award I presume?
