Review of Anijam

Anijam (1984)
10/10
A quick guided tour of 22 great animators.
18 April 2002
This animated short features the work of 22 independent animators from around the world. I'm using "independent" here both in the sense of "independent film" and "working separately."

Each animator created his or her own segment with no knowledge of what any of the others had done, seeing only the last frame of the previous segment.

There is an enormous variety of animation in this film (both in style and subject matter) and it is probable that not all of it will appeal to any one person. But I liked almost all of it a lot and the sections I liked less made a nice contrast. This is definitely not kiddie fodder, however. Keep youngsters out of the room. But, if you like animation for adults and variety in your animation, this is for you.

You can find this film in "The International Tournee of Animation, Volume 1' on VHS tape. It's out of print but worth looking for used.
