Review of Ryan

Ryan (2004)
9/10
A well deserved Oscar
28 February 2005
This animated short uses its animation style to express human situations that would be immediately accessible, even if you didn't know English. The excerpts of Ryan Larkin's work "Walking" (titled in the original French as "En Marchant" 1969) give you a glimpse of the genius of this man. Chris' street characters near the end are hauntingly familiar. Is that a fat Michael Richards I see? Well done, Chris, et al. I first saw this on CBC's ZED and it will likely get more play there, probably on their request program on "Feedback Friday" nights. Zed classifies this film as both Experimental and Educational genres. You can see an overview on their web site.
