Dr.Osamu Tezuka

Jumping, 1984. A 6 minute animation film (not anime style) showing the world from the point of view of a bouncing ball (or jumping child). Each jump of the camera goes higher, each landing is a visual surprise (i.e, a city setting, a jungle, the ocean floor, a battle field in wartime, the depths of Hell, etc.). The amazingly moving perspective was all drawn by hand. "Jumping" won the won the Grand Prize at the 1984 Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films.
