A whirlwind tour of first-class animated shorts, The Worlds Greatest Animation assembles, for the first time, an eye-popping assortment
of Academy Award winners and nominees from the years 1978-90. From the Orwellian vision of zoo life "Creature Comfort" to
"Crac!," a rocking chair's impressionistic view of the industrialization of Montreal, The World's Greatest Animation features some of the finest achievements ever in this unique art form. This DVD utilizes a vast array of cutting-edge techniques and draws inspiration from sources as diverse as Leonardo da Vinci and Tex Avery.
