Tube Tales

Director: Henry Selick
Date: 1975
Rating: ★
Review:

Made by Henry Selick (of later ‘James and the Giant Peach‘ and ‘Coraline’ fame’) at Syracuse University ‘Tube Tales’ is a rather experimental short about the influence of television.

The film features a couple watching a television set, which vomits numerous adverts out on the two. The most idiotic is one on welding. Selick’s designs are angular, and pretty ugly, and with its mere three minutes the short overstays its welcome big time.

Watch ‘Tube Tales’ yourself and tell me what you think:

‘Tube Tales’ is available on the DVD ‘Giants’ First Steps’
