The Blackbird = La Merle
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Norman McLaren imparts unusual activity to an old French-Canadian nonsense song. Simple white cut-outs on pastel backgrounds provide lively illustrations. The folksong, (Mon Merle), is sung in French by the Trio Lyrique of Montreal. This, the only white blackbird in creation, is a wonderful amalgam of Buster Keaton, Marcel Marceau and McLaren.
