Overview

Fantastic Animation Festival --- 1978

"Fantastic Animation Festival" is a package film of animation segments, set mostly to music and released to theaters in 1977. The original running time was 107 minutes, which was later edited down to 90 minutes, and then edited for television, to 80 minutes. [a45467] "[r=5101127]" is the opening track from Pink Floyd's 1971 album [m=20649]. The composition is instrumental except for the spoken line from drummer [a246097], "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces." It features double-tracked bass guitars played by [a110863] and [a110862], with each bass hard panned into one channel of stereo, but one bass sound is quite muted and dull. According to Gilmour, this is because that particular instrument had old strings on it, and the roadie they had sent to get new strings for it wandered off to see his girlfriend instead. [a37606] "Moonshadow" is a song written and performed by Cat Stevens (known since 1978 as Yusuf Islam), first released as a single in the UK in 1970 on the Island label and in the US in 1971 on the A&M label. It also appears on Stevens' 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat.
