Eyeglass Adverts

About This Movie

Eyeglass Adverts is this quirky little animated piece from '85 that somehow captures a specific era of commercial art. The director, M. Henry Jones, is shrouded in a bit of mystery, which makes the film even more intriguing. The animation style feels like a blend of traditional techniques with a dash of retro flair—there’s definitely a handmade quality to it that gives it warmth. The pacing varies, with some segments feeling a bit rushed while others linger just enough to let you appreciate the cleverness of the visuals. Themes of vision and perception are cleverly woven in, and the practicality of animation shines here, relying on tangible effects rather than digital gimmicks. It’s distinctive, for sure, in a way that only commercials from the '80s can be.
