ABC (1986) is a quirky little animated short that takes you on a fascinating journey through the ages of the alphabet. The animation is simple yet effective, using a mix of vibrant colors and fluid transitions that keep the eye engaged. You watch as each letter evolves, starting from those ancient Egyptian symbols, and it’s intriguing how it traces the lineage through Semitic and Phoenician scripts all the way to our modern Roman letters. The pacing is brisk, which makes for an informative yet digestible viewing experience. It's not just about the letters but the cultural shifts they represent. The use of dated visuals adds a historical weight, pulling you into the timeline as it unfolds. Honestly, it's a unique piece that makes you appreciate the written word.
