Here's an odd question for y'all, hopefully someone out there knows the answer. ;)
Back in the early to mid-1980s, I saw a cartoon on PBS. It was basically a line drawing of a pair of legs (red, I think) on a white background. The legs did a little hop dance and then started walking around. Well, shortly the legs started running up and down a stairwell, got chased by a giant bouncing ball (which got eaten by a giant spider), got chased by a giant spider, and ran away from a bunch of little spiders that made a net with their spider-silk (which blocked a passage in the stairwell). Yeh, I know, kinda surreal. :confused: Anyways, I was sitting here and had one of those little flashes of memory and hoped that someone might know something about this animation. :D
Thanks all,
Yes, you are not crazy. I remember it. The little legs I believe were drawn directly on film if not all the animation. I believe it was an American independent film.
Sorry. Can't remember the name either. PBS was great for animation back in the day; Saturday at the Bijou, International animation Festival hosted by Jean Marsh.
Cool!! Thank you, that helps narrow it down -- so I can now stop pestering the National Film Board of Canada... ;)
