Английская Википедия:Fantastic Animation Festival
Fantastic Animation Festival is a package film of animation segments, set mostly to music and released in theaters in 1977. It was one of the earliest of the sort of collections typified by Computer Animation Festival and Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation (the co-founders of the latter, formerly known as Festival of Animation, send out flyers of Fantastic Animation Festival).[1][2]
Summary
Included in its original form of 16 segments were the first national appearance of Will Vinton's Claymation (Closed Mondays and Mountain Music), Bambi Meets Godzilla, Cat Stevens' animated promo for his song "Moonshadow" that was shown at his early concerts, and a previously seen Max Fleischer Superman cartoon from the 1940s (The Mechanical Monsters).[3] The original running time was 107 minutes, which was later edited down to 90 minutes,[4] and then edited for television to 80 minutes.
