The Man Who Had to Sing

1970 · 10 min · ★ 8.2 · Animation

Still in the delivery room, he started singing his song. And on he went his entire life. The song is not ugly, the voice is not unpleasant, but everything is constantly the same. He is trying to blend in, but it always ends in disapproval, kicking out, beating, harsh reaction. Nevertheless, he didn’t give up.

MovieAnimationDocumentary
A richly illustrated cartoon film that enlarges on man's capacity to foul his own nest, and to ignore it. Made by a joint team of Canadian and Yugoslav animation artists, the film transmits its warning with unflagging humor, imagination, movement and design. In between animated sequences Dr. Fred H. Knelman, Professor of Science and Human Affairs at Concordia University in Montréal, comments on the import of what is shown and on what lies in store if more responsibility is not taken on a global scale to conserve what is left of our vital resources and usable environment.
