It includes some raw sequences with the orchestra stopping & starting and with Stalling gruffly putting them through their paces. Like the Bernard Herrmann score for Hitchcock, the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies owed so much to Stalling and suffered with his passing. Listening to the tracks from some of the classics - just the music on its own - the images of those characters and their antics, so obviously seared into the brain now, leap forward. You can just sit back, close your eyes - and laugh.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9770118.post-43126244820020177612008-11-26T11:30:00.000-05:002008-11-26T11:30:00.000-05:00Of course you need to include: "Chuck Jones: Extre...Of course you need to include: "Chuck Jones: Extremes and Inbetweens." Not a survey of different animators, but how a great director approached his work.<BR/><BR/>and Scorsese's "A Personal Journey through American Films." A great survey of his influences.<BR/><BR/>FYI the two disc version of Bullitt includes "The Cutting Edge."J Caswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298078145826257710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9770118.post-13319515870646946022008-11-25T22:26:00.000-05:002008-11-25T22:26:00.000-05:00Visions of Light is an excellent film!

There are no film clips, just tons of interviews, but it's great. The only problem with this film is that they don't let the cinematographers rattle on enough about what they do.TomHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874465707617083179noreply@blogger.com
