Contemporary Cartoon Modern
75 minutes
Cartoon Modern may have reached its zenith in the 1950s, but its style is still very much alive. Contemporary creators are very much inspired by the work made then and continue to explore the possibilities of this versatile movement. Check out these present-day animations inspired by those glorious films from half a century ago.
