Product Description
From Amazon.com
The first volume of a three-disc survey of the films of the innovative Hubley Studio offers two of their best known shorts: the Academy Award-winning "Moonbird" (1959) and the Oscar-nominated "Windy Day" (1967). In these shorts, independent animators John and Faith Hubley explored new ways of presenting a child's world through film. They recorded their children's voices as they spun out fantasies to create a giggling, rambling soundtrack. In "Moonbird," two brothers prowl their backyard by night, seeking to capture the shy moonbird. Two sisters spend an summer afternoon at the seashore, playing games and speculating about what the future may hold for them in "Windy Day."
The upbeat "People, People, People" (1975) examines the history of human habitation in North America, from 17,760 B.C. to A.D. 1976. Benny Carter's genially propulsive score helps the filmmakers present even unpleasant aspects of history with imagination and good humor. In "Enter Life" (1981), carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms assemble to form the molecules essential to all life in a series of chemical reactions that suggest a microcosmic dance. "Amazonia" (1989) draws on indigenous myths to present a plea to save the rapidly vanishing Brazilian rain forest. --Charles Solomon

Excellent DVD for the animation collection.,

Ce commentaire est de: Hubley Coll #1, the (DVD)
This compilation of films is a wonderful addition to my animation collection. The digitized renderings of "Windy Day" and "Moonbird" aere excellent, and "Enter Life"'s colours come through bright and beautiful. Although all of the animations are worth owning, the DVD is heavy on Faith Hubley's work, and light on her collaborations with her husband. It makes "Moonbird" and "Windy Day" stand out like sore thumbs. Nonetheless, I'd recommend this DVD to any collector.

All images are animated gracefully. musics are well matched to the movie. primitive images well changed to the movie. I can feel Old India,Inca,China in fashion of 70s.

2 Great Shorts, others lackluster,
By Timothy J. Rauch - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Hubley Coll #1, the (DVD)
This collection contains two of the best shorts from the Hubley Studio ("Moonbird" and "Windy Day") which are worth the $20 for this DVD. For anyone curious about different approaches to animation, getting to know the Hubley's is a must. The work they created by recording their children at play is beautifully executed and has a narrative structure rarely seen in American animation. However, something is missing from the work created by Faith and Emily Hubley. The visuals are unconvincing: they feel like Miro rip-offs and the flow of the story is unbearable.
