Here's the introduction to BBC's Breakfast with Brisbane, way back in 1982.

After a blogging hiatus, I was digging through my draft posts and came across a less than half written post. I can't remember what I was going to say, or the source of the quote below...
but at the heart of it must have been that this animation is absolutely fantastic!!
"This is a short film that was directed by the French animation
collective H5, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy + Ludovic Houplain. It
was presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. It opened the 2010
Sundance Film Festival and won a 2010 academy award under the category
of animated short.
In this film there are two pieces of licensed music, in the beginning
and in the end. All the other music and sound design are original. The
opening track (Dean Martin "Good Morning Life") and closing track (The
Ink Spots "I don't want to send the world on fire") songs are licensed
pre-existing tracks. All original music and sound design is by, human
