Pink Swine

Pink Swine! (1962) *** (out of 4) Fun mix of stop-motion as well as cut-out animation from director Larry Jordan with the song "I Saw Her Standing There" being played in the background. This is a pretty difficult film to describe as there's really not any plot but instead there are just a bunch of images edited together to mix with the song. The stop-motion stuff was quite nice as was the way the director would take a photo and film it as if it were moving but the really cool stuff happens with the cut-out animation, which is basically a bunch of objects cut out of paper and we see them move around. There's certainly nothing too ground-breaking here but fans of the bizarre should enjoy it.
