Tiny Pictures
A Smith called Pete narrates this Oscar-Nominated short subject about microcinematography. As he notes, that's a mouthful, so let's break it down into shorter words: it's a film that shows off films of small things. Those are not only shorter, they're words of one syllable each. My, my!
It falls into the category of Smith's informative shorts. He doesn't stint himself of his trademark snark, even the stuff directed at himself. Even almost 80 years later, these color images are still interesting. They include growing mosquitos, a cat's tongue, and similar stuff. Although, thanks to things like x-ray photography, we can now photograph atoms, this is still and interesting short subject.
