10/10
A Legy won the Oscar for Best Animated Short for 1980

Warning: Spoilers
I just saw this 1980 animated Oscar-winning short from Hungary on Cartoon Brew linked to YouTube. It concerns the point-of-view of the fly as it whisks through various grasses, windows, rooms, and houses. Everything is line drawings with no color with the camera swooshing through in a scenic panorama of speed. Besides the buzzing, you hear piano keys being banged on, windows slamming, and someone swatting. Then you hear human footsteps as that person gets the insect and takes it to a collection of other creatures of that insect's breed...Great visuals and well deserving of the Academy Award. Hard to believe so much was packed in just 3 minutes. A Legy is well worth seeking out.
