l'Araignéléphant / The spiderelephant / Slonoiga is a magical short film for kids and adults, directed by Polish animator Piotr Kamler. An intersection of animation and fine art, this 1968 film features a dreamy world inhabited by a pink spiderelephant, alien-like fluorescent creatures, and mysterious glowing landscapes. Every part of this film is stunning, and the stills would make for great paintings. I would hang them all around my room.
This magical short film about a pink spiderelephant is essential viewing
