Water Babies
0 views
Without dialogue, “Water Babies” chronicles the activities of numerous kewpie doll-like water nymphs over the course of a single day, from their awakening from their slumber in the shelter of their respective pond lilies, through their traversing of a lake by means aviary and nautical, their numerous play activities and their return to the pond lilies at nightfall.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
A Silly Symphony of infant water sprites playing through a single day, with no plot and no dialogue. It is the series in its purest decorative mode, and the underwater and surface effects animation is lovely — the studio was using these films to solve technical problems as much as to tell stories.
