Stonecutter’ (1960) 6m, dir. Gerald McDermott. McDermott made this, his first commercial film at the age of 19, an extremely complex animation short featuring approximately 2000 animation cels presented in six minutes. Influenced by Klee and Matisse, McDermott used silk-screen as well as traditional painting techniques in crafting ethnographic folk tale animation shorts. archive.org

  • Does anyone remember another cool animation set in Japan about a demon fox that possesses people? It was based on an old Japanese legend and was also made in the 60-70s like this one. Something Kitsune demon fox I think, tried googling that and was getting 'Naruto' results. /fail

  • @Sylocat if you youtube "a story a story", you should be able to find one version of it.

  • Does anyone know where I can find McDermott's film of Anansi the Spider?

  • I think I first saw this on those "Smiling Caravan" home videos. It definitely stood out among stuff like "Blueberries for Sal" and "Charlie Needs a Cloak".

  • clever

  • awesome.

  • good twist

  • yes it is

  • this is great

  • Is this a Weston Woods film? Peace.
