Sea Shell - Morph - Aardman - 1977 -1980


This is a short stop-motion film starring popular plasticine character Morph and his friend Chas. In it they argue about music and Morph solves the problem using a clever little technique. I like this short, I think it sums up what every Morph film is about, Morph is doing something fun and happy, Chas does something to interrupt the mood of Morph, Morph finds some unique way of solving the problem. In this film Morph puts a black circle on the floor and sweeps Chas' broken stereo into it, this shows an impossibility within the film but provides a clever bit of comedy for the viewer.
