So, 'How the Table Was Carried' from '79 is this charming little animation that really captures a certain whimsical innocence. It's got this gentle, almost dreamlike tone where animals grapple with the simple task of carrying a table. Enter this imaginative girl with her colored pencils, and suddenly the story takes on this vibrant, artistic flair. The drawings come to life, blending a child's creativity with the animals' antics in a sweet, almost nostalgic way. The pacing is relaxed, allowing the visuals to breathe, and there's a lovely simplicity to the storytelling that feels refreshing. It's distinct in its approach to communication and collaboration, making it a unique piece of animation history.
This film seems to have flown under the radar for many collectors, but there's a niche interest for those who appreciate lesser-known animations. It originally released on VHS, and finding a good quality copy can be a bit of a hunt. The scarcity can drive up interest in specific collector circles, especially among those who enjoy the unique artistic style and the quaint storytelling approach of that era.
