New digital transfers of rare animations by Terry Gilliam from his own film elements!

Awesome. Check out this 1977 interview wherein he talks about his first forays into animation: https://www.tptoriginals.org/monty-pythons-monosyllabic-minnesota-farmboy/

Hi
Finally got this set.
Great to see the beginning of Terry’s period as an animator armed with the knowledge of where this strand of his art was going to go.
He obviously put everything he had into the Christmas Card. It has the intense focus of someone out to prove their worth. Tremendous energy tempered by great pacing.
The other pieces seemed to me to have a more abstract, improvisational, stream of conscious appeal that defiantly foreshadow the Python animations yet have their own unique flavour.
Beautiful quality restoration.
A fascinating treat.

The Beware of the Elephants animation one was a good one, and risky as he used a photo of controversial, racist politician Enoch Powell (who did the Rivers of Blood speech in 1968) to talk about Sludge Soap getting clothes white, white, white. I think Terry was saying something there, and it's shocking that he got away with that in a children's TV show!

Hi Donald
Yes, that did strike me as pretty daring.
Imagine if you tried something like that now?
Isn’t there a Python animation on the same riff without the Powell reference?
