Here we are with the italian master of the good old "pencil and paper" animation style. I hope the special world of Bruno Bozzetto will be magical for you as it is for me.
This is how his job has been described in the book "Cartoons: One Hundred Years of Cinema Animation":
"Bozzetto’s humor is rooted in American comedy, but with a softened rhythm and a tendency to merge a taste for surrealism with ethical themes. At the center of his work are the neuroses of a society based on consumerism and machines, and the loss of natural, human purity. His comedy, however, is never sulphurous; far from being polemic and slashing, it displays a clever, sharp spirit. Thus he becomes often ironic, donning a lucid pessimism for the human race. The most evident characteristic of Bozzetto’s work is a superb sense of showmanship. Each of his films captures both the eye and the intelligence with rhythms of colors and actions, timing of comic expedients and original fantasy".
Enjoy!
