    Obscure but beautiful piece of work.

    I remember seeing this film on a READING RAINBOW episode called "Abiyoyo". This was an artistic film. Pretty good computer graphics for 1985. And that dancer Bonnie Wong boy she was hot. She's got good dance movements. I saw the short in all it's entirety on Youtube. It is very good. If your kids experienced too much fast-paced stuff such as violence, mischief and other wacky stuff, then this is the film I highly recommend your kids to look at. This film is fun for the entire family. If you are a film-student and want to make a movie without any pop-culture references, but artsy avant-garde style, this film would be reference. You can order it online and get other John Sanborn works. Stuff like that are holy grails these days.
