“The Little Island” is a movie that’s, um, a little hard to explain. Borrowing from wikipedia:

The film features three men, who each only believe in one thing, one in Good, one in Truth, and one in Beauty. Though they are never named, they will be referred to by these titles in the article. They cast themselves onto a small island where they sit next to each other. Many days pass on the island, and they soon choose to express themselves. It starts in small ways, simply making noise. The three quickly start to annoy each other, and they soon stop. As more time passes, however, they begin to express their idea.

This completely animated movie was made by Richard Williams, who went on to be the animation director for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It’s his first film, made in 1958.

Join us as we spontaneously create a little Good, Truth, and Beauty ourselves.
