Hen Hop (1942) [Short]

Canada (MIFF1989,National Film Board of Canada Tribute – Norman McLaren Programme)
Director: Norman McLaren

Geometric shapes build to the form of a hen. To the tune of old-time waltzes a hen, now a leghorn, then a Plymouth Rock, later a simple egg with feet, dances and reels. This McLaren-designed animation was conceived to reflect the primitiveness and naivety of the music that inspired it.
