This animation by Stephen Bosustow from 1971 I posted on the 3rd of March 2007. You may think of the message as you wish, but I really like the animation and the narration by Orson Welles.

Joei de vivre
(Anthony Gross & Hector Hoppin/1934)
"...in this case a sophisticated version of Perrault's Cinderella. Instead of working from designs from children's illustrated books, this film incorporates elements from French art nouveau posters, the fine art of Matisse and visual ideas from the Post Impressionists and Italian Futurists. The choreography is very imaginative, and constantly plays with the movement of the two dimensional abstractions in three dimensional space."
You'll find a QuickTime movie link in the ASIFA article: An Animation Salon: What Is An Animated Film?

Rhapsody of Steel
In this post from January ASIFA said: "Today we scanned a read-along storybook adaptation of John Sutherland's industrial film, Rhapsody of Steel (1959). Sutherland's studio was very influential in the mid-1950s, employing some of the best designers in the business. This film is no exception."
There is also a QuickTime link in the post!
