The five best animated films of Frank and Caroline Mouris, namely “Frank Film”, “Frankly Caroline”, “Coney”, “Screentest”, and ”Impasse”: Collage animation times two, pixillated documentary times two, and abstract character animation, respectively.

Frank and Caroline Mouris met in college, went to art school and business school respectively, and then set out to re-invent the outer regions of animated filmmaking.

In this Volume:

  • Frank Film 1973
    “The best American film at the New York Film Festival. . .A nine minute evocation of America`s exhilarating everythingness.”
    –Andrew Sarris, The Village Voice
  • Frankly Caroline 1998
    A follow-up to “FRANK FILM” and a smorgasbord of autobiography and animation set to the narration of a bickering, but undoubtedly loving, married couple. Watch a clip!
