ALEXANDER THE GRAPE, an unfinished cut-paper animated short from Jim Henson from 1965, relates the fable of a young grape with big ambitions who learns that it is better to accept yourself than to try to be something you are not. The short was reconstructed from film and audio elements; images from Jim’s storyboard fill in missing segments of the animation.

Dancing Beer Bottles

Dancing Beer Bottles

Circa 1963 - 1975. This is possibly test footage or something for a beer commercial, or something for a variety show of some sort. Dennis Muren animated it with replacement animation. The same technique that was used with George Pal's Puppetoons and the animation of the title character with The Beast From Hollow Mountain (1956). In fact, this technique is used today from Tim Burton to Laika.
