Produced and animated by Claude Cloutier 'Sleeping Betty' is a film that follows the short story of a sleeping princess and her fathers sometimes surreal attempts to wake her from her slumber. The random originality of all the characters and gags are a triumph especially my personal favourite the witch who comes in hoovering with her broom. Oh and the horse riding the taxi, theres just to many. These all coming from a man who says he is 'not' a funny man.
It just shows that there are some animators still out there producing films using traditional hand drawn techniques and with such talent and draftsmenship. There isn't a frame throughout that piece that doesn't purvey weight, character and pose. A brilliant piece of work and I look forward to seeing more and learning more about Claude Cloutier.
Please watch this and enjoy every 24 frames of each second!
