My baby just cares for me, Peter Lord, UK, 1987, 35 mm, color
24 December 2007
This may probably be one of the best -and cutest- animated short-movies ever, and it hasn't aged at all (it is already 20 years old) ! The characters are cats, a bar singer and her lover, and they are (as it is very often the case (for example Wallace & Gromit)) made of play-dough. The story is completely in touch with Nina Simone's wonderful song (1928, music by Walter Donaldson & lyrics by Gus Kahn). In addition to the funny-romantic mood, there are some very creative passages based upon the keyboard of a piano. Supposedly, the short-movie was used in 1987 in the UK for a commercial for a perfume. For those who haven't seen it yet, the video is currently viewable on the internet(on a very famous broadcasting website).
