The Amazing Mr. Bickford - Bruce Bickford ( 1987)
Comentarios/Info:Este lanzamiento ya había sido publicado por Luxor AQUÍ en su día ... pero me he decidido a abrir un hilo nuevo con esta nueva versión ( también VHS-rip ) dado que el ripeo anterior ( en 2 partes ) poseía un entrelazado bastante molesto.
Rompiendo con mis propias normas, publico este material, que a priori promete, sin haberlo visto aunque sí al menos previsualizado, deduciendo que la calidad del rip es visible ( sin entrelazado por supuesto ) y que salvo unos diálogos iniciales en inglés ( no me he parado mucho a escucharlo, pero presupongo que explica un poco el montaje ?! ) es una animación sin diálogos .

We enter Bruce Bickford's studio in Santa Monica, California; it's 1978. Various technicians are at work; drawers upon drawers are full of figurines. Bickford says a few things, and then, with Zappa's symphonic music on the soundtrack, we're taken into various Bickford creations. Knife-wielding Africans fight rifle-toting Whites. A drawing of a toilet fills the screen, various foods emerge from it, and they change shapes swiftly into images of animals and things. In claymation, three everymen move through landscapes of danger and conflict. Moments of the every day change quickly into grotesque images. Little holds its shape for more than a moment.
