The Critic (film) : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Critic (film) ''The Critic'' is a 1963 short animation by director/producer Ernest Pintoff and creator/narrator Mel Brooks, that won an Academy Award for Short Subjects (Cartoons) in 1964. ==Background== The film was reportedly inspired by an actual incident. In Spring, 1962 Mel Brooks attended a movie theater, which among other films screened an animated short by Norman McLaren. It featured surrealistic, abstract imagery. During the screening of this short, Brooks listened to another audience member "mumbling to himself". He was an old immigrant man who was voicing his disappointment at the lack of a plot. Brooks was inspired to make a film out of this experience.〔Parish (2008), p. 156-158〕 Brooks contacted Ernest Pintoff, who had experience producing animated works such as ''Flebus''. They agreed to create a short film, and Brooks had two requests for his new partner. The visuals of the film had to be fashioned in a style similar to that of McLaren, and Brooks himself would have no specific warning of the content. He intended to improvise his monologue.〔 Pintoff and animator Bob Heath completed the visuals as agreed, then Brooks watched the result and improvised his monologue. He used a Russian Jewish accent and attempted to find lines appropriate for an old man "trying to find a plot in this maze of abstractions."〔 Henry Jenkins points that the comments themselves belong to a recognizable narrative mode, the stream of consciousness.〔Jenkins (2013), p. 151〕
