I Don't Know What It's About but I Enjoyed It
Loops (1940)
*** (out of 4)
I will freely admit that I enjoyed this experimental short from Norman McLaren while at the same time saying I really don't know how to explain it. Basically we've got a blue background and a music score that whenever a noise is made we get an animated image on the background.
If you're familiar with the work of McLaren then you already know that dozens of people could watch his films and walk away with a different idea of what they were about. I honestly have no idea what he was trying to say or do with this film but it was well-made for the most part and it kept you glued to what was going on for its three minute running time.
