This is the third Norman McLaren short I've seen, and each has been very different, ranging from stop motion photography to pastel drawing. 'Dots' is the the most traditional of the lot, and the most basic. It's a great demonstration of animation. Succinctly put, its just a bunch of dots moving around and exploding. It's worth the watch given its short run time, and its pretty cool what he does with such rudimentary animation. In the end though, its just a bunch of dots, its hard to get too excited.

Simple and engaging example of a/v stimulus - shines so much greater than other more highly regarded shorts. Awesome.

That soundtrack would still be called groundbreaking 70 years on. Mad!

At first, it looked like a vision test my eye doctor gives me. But the exploding dots and wild soundtrack took it way beyound that. Nice little ditty.

Boooring!
2/10
Even though it's "An experimental film of dots animated by being drawn directly on filmstock."
But 1min38sec. is OK, I can bare it!
