In these 50 years, we’ve had lots of chance to see various animation short films. Almost of them were forgotten immediately as soon as the show finished. However, these films in this list are the films which we can remember their scenes clearly as we hear the titles. Each film has showed us new possibility of animation. I’m very glad that ‘Screen Play’ is playing a role of it.
