Fetch: The Harrowing Perils of Life in 2-D!

“Fetch!” (2001) is an amazing animated musical short film incorporating optical illusions by Nina Paley. It’s been a favorite of children’s film festivals, although it wasn’t originally created for children. However, they seem to enjoy it, since its clear, simple narrative and absence of social and political issues make it more easily accessible to them. “Fetch!” was the first Flash-to-35mm film festival animated short. The film’s an adorably simple concept transformed into an Escher-like kaleidoscope of twisted perspective and graphic whimsy. It’s such a great 2-D abstraction, revolving around a man, a dog, a ball and a line. And that’s all; it’s all about perspective!

Includes a number of illustrations from the film, as well as the animated musical short, “Fetch!”
