Forget Singin' in the Rain*! More animators should 1969's "Sweet Charity" to understand communicating personality, rhythm and inventive staging. Shirley MacLaine, brightly dancing to director Bob Fosse's flawless choreography, brings out a truly magical moment for movie musicals. Highly recommended!
Richard Williams' animated credits sequence for the Richard Lester adaptation of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" (1966). Brilliantly rendered to encapsulate the aged beauty of Roman mosaic art, fitting the accurate to life comedic identity of Lester's Rome: beauty caked with sleaze
