Richard Williams died a few days ago. Most cinephiles know him as the man who did the animation for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". What they probably don't know is that Williams had been working for three decades before that. One of his early efforts was this quirky animated short. "The Little Island" depicts men acting out their fantasies of Good, Truth and Beauty. They put on some impressive performances. I guess that it's up to the viewer to decide what they mean, if anything. It's certainly one of the most amazing pieces of animation that I've ever seen, complete with masterful music by Tristram Cary. I recommend it. Available on YouTube.
